Out of the total of Rs 16,492 crore obtained through bonds, the BJP received Rs 8,252 crore, surpassing the funding received by over 20 other parties combined. Additionally, parties have garnered funds from electoral trusts, which have significant corporate donors. Combining funds from electoral bonds, trusts, and other donations declared in audit reports over a six-year period from 2018 to 2023, the BJP’s total funding reached Rs 12,930 crore, solidifying its lead over other political parties.
