Why BJP HQ Has Not Filed Electoral Bonds Details to EC?

Several political parties have submitted details of donations received by them via electoral bonds to the Election Commission of India (EC) in sealed covers after the Supreme Court directed them to do so in an interim order on 12 April.

According to an RTI reply accessed by The Quint, over 60 parties have submitted the details. However, in case of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the details have been submitted by the Tripura state unit and not the party’s national headquarters.

The RTI reply received by Commodore Lokesh Batra (Retired), mentions ‘BJP, Tripura Pradesh State’ under the section of ‘Name of the Party’ and ‘3 June’ under the ‘Date of Receiving in the Election Commission of India.’

The mystery of whether the EC has received the consolidated details of donations received by the BJP through electoral bonds or the envelope contains only the details of the Tripura state unit of the BJP will be solved only after the SC opens the sealed cover.

While in case of other major political parties, it states ‘INC’ for Indian National Congress, ‘AITC’ for All India Trinamool Congress, ‘BSP’ for Bahujan Samaj Party, etc, with the dates of submission of details. No state unit has submitted the details to the EC on behalf of any other political party.
