The Supreme Court has taken the right decision so far to instruct the Election Commission to prepare a detailed submission of electoral funding by parties. Why is the BJP government shying away from revelations being made compulsory? What does it have to hide? The present dispensation is sending the CBI, ED and the Income Tax authorities in order to probe political rivals. Demonetization was introduced to unravel black money. The BJP government has forced the people of India to link the Aadhaar card with the PAN card so that they will be able to have control on the finances of the people of India. The BJP government has taken measures to trace the sources and extent of people of India having money in foreign banks. But why are they scared of revealing the sources and quantum of their party funding. Could anonymous sources be black money? The BJP government seemed to be portraying itself as holier than thou. So why hide the sources of their electoral financing. Just like the government wants everyone else to be transparent, so should they also come clean on poll funding.
