New Delhi: The conflict is intensifying over a statement by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman regarding electoral bonds. Along with the Congress party, senior lawyer and Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal has also targeted. Responding to this, Sibal said that Nirmala Sitharaman had said in an interview to a newspaper that we will bring back the electoral bond scheme. It also said that the electoral bond scheme was brought in to bring transparency. This is completely contrary to the remarks of the Supreme Court. Sibal said that BJP is claiming that the electoral bond scheme was brought to bring transparency. Contrary to the party’s claim, the Supreme Court has declared the scheme ‘unconstitutional’.
what did sibal say
Sibal said that the Supreme Court also said that these were not transparent and were brought in a non-transparent manner. Now the problem facing BJP is that they have money for this election but they know that when they lose they will need money. However, Nirmala Sitharaman is saying that if she wins, she will bring back the electoral bond scheme after discussions with all concerned parties. He targeted RSS chief Mohan Bhagat over the electoral bond scheme. He asked why he was silent on this matter.
My decisions are not to scare or suppress anyone… PM Modi told future plan
Congress also raised questions on the statement
Congress also targeted Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman over her statement related to electoral bonds. The party alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party has looted Rs 4 lakh crore from the public through this scheme and wants to continue this loot in future also. Party General Secretary Jairam Ramesh also claimed that according to the reports coming from the grassroots level, the Bharatiya Janata Party is going out of power.
See what Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on the Electoral Bond Scheme.
BJP wants to continue the loot- Jairam
Jairam Ramesh, in a post on ‘X’, said that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that if BJP returns to power, it will bring back electoral bonds. The Supreme Court has declared it unconstitutional and illegal. We know that BJP has looted Rs 4 lakh crore from the public in the ‘Pay-PM’ scam. They want to continue this loot. Imagine, if they win and reinstate the electoral bonds, how much will they loot this time? Jairam Ramesh further said that this is the most important election of India in our lifetime. Thankfully, this ‘corrupt brigade’ is going out of power. This is clearly visible from ground level news.
