Welcoming the Supreme Court’s directive to the State Bank of India (SBI) to furnish the data regarding electoral bonds within 24 hours, Opposition parties on Monday claimed that the move is the first step towards exposing the nexus between “crony capitalists and the Bharatiya Janata Party”.
“With the Supreme Court’s decision, the country will soon come to know who donated to the BJP through electoral bonds. This is the first step in exposing the corruption, scams and transactions of the [Narendra] Modi government,” Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
“Even now, the country will not find out the specific contracts that capitalist donors of the BJP got out of the Modi government in exchange of donations and the Supreme Court should give appropriate directions for that too,” Mr. Kharge added.
