Narendra Modi today urged 'everyone' to donate money to the Bharatiya Janata Party to boost nation building by monetarily helping the efforts of the saffron party, which meanwhile is gearing up for the Lok Sabha elections.
The call to donate money to BJP comes weeks after the Supreme Court banned electoral bond, which was introduced by the Modi government, and helped political parties raise money. These bonds, which allowed for anonymous donations, had become a key component of political funding, with some regional parties relying heavily on them for financial support. For the BJP, electoral bonds constitute more than half of its overall income, indicating their crucial role in sustaining political campaigns.
The prime minister donated 2,000 rupees to the BJP party fund.
«I am happy to contribute to BJP4India and strengthen our efforts to build a Viksit Bharat,» Modi wrote on X (previously Twitter).
«I also urge everyone to be a part of #DonationForNationBuilding through the NaMoApp!,» he added.
