Congress slams BJP's FCRA compliance demand on new MLAs as a whitewash

Newly elected BJP legislators were asked to provide details of foreign contributions under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA), a move that the opposition Congress party described as a "whitewash". In a press briefing, Congress spokesperson asserted that the demand was politically motivated and aimed at diverting attention from governance issues. The party urged the central government to focus on substantive policy matters rather than targeting individual lawmakers. BJP officials, however, maintained that the request was a routine compliance measure in line with existing regulations. The exchange adds to the ongoing political friction between the two parties ahead of upcoming legislative sessions.
