Congress MP Jairam Ramesh criticized the BJP government's use of electoral bonds, alleging it facilitated a scam involving private companies through four distinct methods, including 'Chanda do dhandha lo' and 'teka lo ghuse do', implying prearranged contracts and payments. He labeled electoral bonds as 'post-raid' bribes to the BJP-led government, involving 'prepaid, postpaid, and post-raid bribes'. The Congress reiterated its demand for a Supreme Court-monitored investigation into the scheme, launched in 2017, describing it as the tip of the iceberg. The scheme, aimed at curbing 'black cash' in politics, has stirred controversy over the transparency of bond purchasers and recipients. CPI(M) leader MY Tarigami also highlighted the scheme as a significant issue, contrasting it with corruption charges against opposition members.
