  1. DK, a bit long. Allow me to Political parties have been accepting donations, mostly in cash (black money, God knows where it went) since decades. Since the Bond scheme, donations have been through the bank. All (especially National level) political parties have received such donations…. Some more, some less, some MUCH more. It is documented and can be seen as soon as the key is found in the dog poo. It is very evident that BJP has got not one Lion’s but “a pride of Lions’s” share of the bond donations probably following the basic psychology of backing a winner. Usually, corruption is established by following the money trail. In the case of electoral bonds, money trails are crystal clear and it is all in white. The donations are reflected in the books of the donor as well as the receiver. An improvement from the old system, definitely. Donations to political parties are not illegal. A watertight case has to be proved in the courts of law to establish direct quid pro quo with Government (Center or State). Comments and commentaries by all and sundry and the ‘experts” at best can be aimed at swaying the electorate against the incumbent governments (who are the major beneficiaries) before the elections with allegations (some may be even true) of quid pro quo, connecting some dots. No real effect unless proved in Court of Law as said earlier It will be interesting to see how the opposition will leverage the issue (if at all) and the whole post Bond effect will unravel. Note: The opinion of the honorable SC in relation to the unconstitutionality is not on the donations but in the opaqueness of the procedure.
