In West Bengal, the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the ruling Trinamool Congress came face to face on Thursday over the money received through election donations and both asked each other to disclose the amount raised through it. Talking to reporters, Leader of Opposition Shubhendu Adhikari said that if the Trinamool Congress (TMC) is as honest as it claims, then it should disclose the amount raised from election donations.

Nine opposition leaders, including West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, recently wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging “gross misuse” of central agencies. Referring to that letter, the official said that the corruption that has surfaced in West Bengal in the last few months proves that the entire TMC is mired in malpractices.
He said, “If they are troubled by the alleged misuse of central agencies, they can go to court against it. If TMC claims to be the most honest party in the country, then it should give details of money received through election donations.” TMC retorted that BJP has raised the most money through election donations.
State Minister of State for Finance Chandrima Bhattacharya said, “Central agencies are being used to harass opposition leaders. But, BJP and leaders like Shubhendu Adhikari should remember one thing – ‘Agency Raj’ will not last long. Why are they not releasing the details of the money received from election donations? BJP has got maximum money through donations.
