Six Gujarat Unrecognised Parties Reportedly Earn ₹1,700 Crore; UP Congress Seeks Probe
Six unrecognised Gujarat-based political parties reportedly earned around ₹1,700 crore in 2023-24, surpassing the combined income of five national parties excluding BJP. These parties collectively fielded only 15 candidates in the 2024 elections. The Aam Janmat Party received the highest donations at ₹620 crore. The Uttar Pradesh Congress has called for an investigation into the sources and beneficiaries of these funds, citing concerns over possible irregularities and previous suspicious money transfers involving unrecognised parties.
