Congress Leader Ashok Gehlot Questions PM Modi Over Transparency Of Electoral Bonds

Ashok Gehlot, a Congress leader and the former chief minister of Rajasthan, questioned Prime Minister Modi over the “transparency” of electoral bonds.

Ashok Gehlot made these comments after Prime Minister Modi declared that “everyone will regret it when there is an honest reflection” and accused the opposition parties of “spreading lies” regarding the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the electoral bonds scheme.

The Congress leader accused the BJP of using electoral bonds as a means of extortion, threatening individuals with ED and CBI raids, in an interview with ANI.

“The allegations we are making regarding electoral bonds, PM Modi is not answering that…Now he is giving excuses, why such a situation has arrived? because it has become an issue in the country,” Ashok Gehlot said.

The Congress veteran accused the BJP of collecting money via electoral bonds by threatening people with ED and CBI raids.

Ashok Gehlot on Tuesday said that the names of the donors came out only after the Supreme Court judgement, not before.

“After the Supreme Court’s order, these things have surfaced. Where is there transparency in electoral bonds?” he added.

PM Modi stated in an interview with ANI that the electoral bonds program was designed to reduce the use of black money in elections and that the opposition wants to run away after making allegations.
