The DMK had the highest income and expenditure among the 31 regional parties analysed in 2020-2021, with its spending accounting for over half of the total income, a report by the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) released on Friday said.
The ADR report analysed the annual income declarations submitted by regional parties to the Election Commission, though the reports of 23 out of the 54 regional parties were not available on the EC’s website as on Friday despite the deadline for submission being October 31, 2021. Among the parties whose annual audited accounts were unavailable were the Rashtriya Janata Dal, the Samajwadi Party and the Jammu & Kashmir National Conference.
