Earlier senior leader Sashi Tharoor said that the party should not be embarrassed about acknowledging that it was facing a fund crunch. “We should call on all concerned citizens to help us face the moneybags of the BJP,” the former Union Minister said.
According to a recent report by Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) during the year 2016-17, the Congress party made an income of around Rs. 225.36 crores while with a declared income of Rs. 1,034 crore BJP is the richest among the 7 national parties.
The reasons stated behind the decline in Congress’ income is the recent failure against the Pm Modi led BJP in the assembly election, Congress who ruled 13 sates in 2014 has now reduced to just 2 states of Mizoram and Punjab. Meanwhile, the BJP led NDA currently rules in 21 states across the country.
