Congress plans to use a crowdsourcing portal to raise more funds, the Times of India reported citing sources. If it's anything like the current approach, the most noteworthy aspect will be a digital paper trail and, hopefully, more open political finance. Worldwide, it is tough to regulate political money. Although political parties exist independently of the state, they legislate on behalf of the government to establish rules governing their funding. There are two central tenets of regulation concerning political finance: limits on individual donations and transparency regarding funding.

Rural India’s Silent Revolution: Small Farmer Incomes — The Real Election Decider

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 17, 20230

Agricultural earnings have, historically speaking, been the factor that has determined which party wins elections. This factor is entirely unrelated to caste calculations or the commotion of populist measures. Seventy percent of people in rural India depend on agriculture as their primary source of income, and the majority of these people—85 percent—are small and marginal farmers who are frequently caught in a never-ending cycle of debt, poverty, and inadequate living standards. Since this is where small farmers' earnings have increased over time, it is easy to see why the chief ministers of the states of Telangana, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha continue to have substantial support from the farming community. The first two options are going to be in a vote. It would seem that KCR and Bhu...
