"Revelations of Electoral Bond Donors Shake Indian Politics"
Indian politics is in turmoil as leaked records reveal that Indian companies have secretly funneled $2 billion into political parties since 2018, with roughly half going to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The disclosures have raised concerns about the fairness of the upcoming national elections, with critics alleging that the BJP holds an unfair advantage in fundraising. The revelations also suggest a pattern of companies making donations as they receive government contracts, leading to suspicions of bribery and extortion. The mounting criticism has forced the BJP to defend itself, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi reaffirming his commitment to rooting out corruption.
