Rajdeep Sardesai LIVE | Do Electoral Bonds Favour The Ruling Party? | Jairam Thakur Exclusive

For seven years, the petitions challenging the electoral bonds (EB) system have been pending before the Supreme Court. Now, the hearing has once again been adjourned to 6 December, with the solicitor general taking the stand that EBs are "completely transparent".

More than 10 thousand crore worth of funds have been generated by EBs since 2015. India Today's Aneesha Mathur spoke to Jagdeep Chhokkar of the Association for Democratic Reforms, who said the scheme has several drawbacks and citizens have the right to know who is funding political parties and how much funds are being given.

Bjp is the richest political party in India. The question is ly they are in power last eight years and how come they become richest political party In India? By favouring corporates they are getting funds through electoral bonds...
