Electoral Bonds: The ₹12,769 Crore Anonymous Donation Scheme the Supreme Court Struck Down

Electoral Bonds were meant to clean up political funding. Instead, they created the most opaque campaign finance system in Indian history — ₹12,769 crore in anonymous donations, 47.5% flowing to the BJP, with shell companies and contractors under investigation pouring ₹4,200+ crore into ruling party coffers. The Supreme Court struck down the scheme in February 2024.
