Is Electoral Bond Scheme Unconstitutional? What Supreme Court Has To Say

Snehashish RoyFebruary 15, 20240

On February 15, a five-judge bench of the Supreme Court declared the electoral bonds scheme unconstitutional. The scheme allowed individuals and corporations to donate money to political parties anonymously by purchasing electoral bonds from the State Bank of India (SBI). The SBI had sole access to the details of those who purchased electoral bonds, and any unencashed bonds were to be deposited in the Prime Minister Relief Fund. The scheme was introduced in 2017 by then Finance Minister Arun Jaitley as a solution to the issue of opacity in political parties’ funding. However, it was challenged in court by the Communist Party of India (Marxist), and NGOs Common Cause and ADR. The court raised several issues in its verdict. Firstly, it held that the electoral bond scheme violated t...

Bengal Split: Mamata Banerjee-Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury Rift Has Bitter Past As Ex-Congress Colleagues

Snehashish RoyJanuary 25, 20240

The Opposition INDIA alliance is falling apart in West Bengal, where the Left parties have been opposing the TMC for a long time. This is because Mamata Banerjee, the TMC chief and the state’s Chief Minister, has announced that her party will go solo in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, leaving the Congress behind. The relationship between the TMC and the state Congress unit has been sour and bitter for years, especially between Mamata and the state Congress president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, who are also the CM and the Leader of the Lok Sabha respectively. They have been hostile to each other for decades. Mamata, who is 69 years old and has been the CM three times, left the Congress and formed the TMC on January 1, 1998. Adhir, who is 67 years old and has been an MP from Berhampo...

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 7, 20230

Although India's transition to a capitalist economic model has been underway for decades, the pace of change has quickened in recent years. This paradigm change has been primarily driven by the government's goals of increasing economic growth and employment prospects, as well as by India's increasing participation in the global economy.

Revolutionising Political Finance: Congress Plans Crowdsourcing Portal For Fundraising Transparency

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 31, 20230

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. Since it is easy to circumvent limits if the donor is unknown, full disclosure of the funding source is more important. The world's leading democracies have had difficulty formulating a regulatory ...

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...
