Jaanne Bhi Do Yaron | Political Party Funding and Corruption in India - The Wire
Following the scrapping of the anonymous Electoral Bonds Scheme in February 2024, electoral trusts have emerged as the primary channel for corporate political donations. We unpack who the largest donors are and examine investigative reporting that has tracked quid pro quo arrangements – including cases where companies receive government contracts or policy benefits soon after making political donations, or where firms under investigation contribute funds to the party controlling investigative agencies. Political funding, for this reason, is often described as the fountainhead of corruption.

In 2023, India slipped 17 ranks below China on the corruption index. While every political party likes to claim that it has sharply reduced corruption, this assessment of India’s position has raised many questions.
Allegations of corruption against German defense minister and prince Bernhard of the Netherlands resulted in a huge setback to their political careers. Since then, many of these countries have brought safeguards to make their society cleaner.
First, a huge amount of money is being spent on elections. Political parties try to gain financial resources wherever they are in power. For the private sector to give money to politicians, a quid pro quo is required – contracts for large projects or policies that benefit them substantially.
Second, the variety of consumer goods has expanded phenomenally in the last two decades. Air conditioners and mobiles are not a luxury but a necessity for many families. There is a strong incentive for petty public officials to resort to corrupt means to extract money from the common public and meet some of these needs.
Third, the growth process requires large private investment. The regulatory authorities have increased in number and coverage of sectors. The functionaries of these authorities, as well as politicians, see an opportunity to make money for themselves.
