Rahul Arya Ballari Karnataka:
Modi wave or Money wave?
.
A superb video on the money spent for BJP's publicity and campaigns, how it's funded and the increasing use of electoral bonds. Back in March last year, Modi govt passed a shameless amendment which allowed foreign companies to donate to Indian political parties LEGALLY. And this amendment was applied retrospectively from 1976 !! Activists like us posted about how the electoral bonds will allow donors to remain anonymous thus making it impossible to know who's funding which party. Well after about a year, all our worst fears have come true.
.
Indian politicians will now LEGALLY receive donations from the ultra-rich; so guess who will they work for??!! As Rajiv Dixit ji would say "जो धन देता है वो धुन बजवाता है". Anybody who still thinks that politicians will work for the country / poor after receiving hundreds of crores from the ultra-rich lives in a fantasy world.
