The Indian National Congress reports a 75% fall in donations, totaling Rs 131 crore, marking the lowest fundraising figure in the past three years.
The Indian National Congress has announced a steep decline in its fundraising, with donations falling 75% to Rs 131 crore, the lowest amount collected in the past three years.
The dip comes after a series of electoral setbacks for the party, leading to a noticeable drop in both individual and corporate contributions. Party officials say the shortfall will impact the budget for upcoming campaign activities.
Finance chief of the party noted that the reduced inflow will force a reassessment of the party’s campaign strategy and resource allocation.
Political analysts point out that the trend may indicate waning donor confidence and a need for the party to overhaul its fundraising approach to remain competitive in the next election cycle.
