PM Modi’s donation sets an example, as BJP’s president JP Nadda initiated the drive with a Rs 1,000 contribution.

Election Commission data reveals BJP’s fiscal year 2022-2023 funding surged to Rs 719 crore, while Congress’s donations dwindled to Rs 79 crore. The initiative comes after the Supreme Court’s ban on electoral bonds, previously a significant income source for the BJP.
