All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday demanded a Supreme Court-monitored special investigation into the electoral bonds scheme through which the ruling BJP has encashed ₹6,065 crore over five years and said the bank accounts of the BJP must be frozen till the completion of the probe.
Mr. Kharge said that several companies purchased electoral bonds soon after they faced raids by Central agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate and Income Tax Department. While the BJP received the highest amount in electoral bonds, the bank account of the Congress, which received donations from party workers, was frozen, he said.
