Hitting out at the State Bank of India (SBI) for seeking more time from the Supreme Court to disclose details on electoral bonds, the Congress on March 7 asserted that the SBI’s arguments were flawed, and alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is “absolutely terrified of revealing his corporate donors to people”.
Asked to furnish data on the electoral bond scheme by March 6 by the Supreme Court, the SBI has approached the top court for time until June 30 to make the data available.
“Hide and seek in New India: Nation seeks, Modi hides! The Pradhan Mantri Chanda Chipao Yojana, implemented by the SBI, is built on lies,” Congress general secretary (communications) Jairam Ramesh said in statement posted on social media platform X.
