Electoral Bonds scheme slammed by Rahul Gandhi

Rahul Gandhi claimed that electoral bonds provided the money needed to fracture political parties and overthrow opposing administrations.In the midst of his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi spoke at a press conference in Thane on Friday. Speaking out against the electoral bonds scheme, Rahul Gandhi called it ‘the worst extortion racket in the world.’A day after information on the plan was made public per the Supreme Court’s orders, Gandhi said that the money obtained through it was utilised to destroy opposition governments and divide political parties.

“The world’s largest extortion scheme was electoral bonds… Election bonds provided the money needed to fracture political parties and overthrow opposition administrations, according to Rahul Gandhi. Additionally, the Congress leader made it clear that electoral bonds had nothing to do with the agreements made by state legislatures.Rahul Gandhi attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party by claiming that the country’s election commission, the ED, and the CBI are the “weapons of the BJP.” “The country’s institutions, like the ED, the Election Commission of India, and the CBI, are now the tools of the BJP and RSS, not the country itself,” he declared.

Mallikarjun Kharge, the head of the Congress, called for a special investigation into the electoral bonds programme earlier in the day and insisted that the BJP’s bank accounts be stopped until the investigation was over. There were a lot of questionable donors, according to Kharge, who also mentioned that the people who bought these bonds were either raided by other investigative authorities or implicated in instances involving the Income Tax (I-T) or Enforcement Directorate (RD).
