In the history of Indian political circles and election funding, it has once again been proved that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has gone far ahead of all the parties in terms of election management and resources. The reports of donations and financial details received by political parties during the recently concluded assembly elections of five important states of the country including West Bengal have surprised everyone. According to Election Commission data and documents received from electoral trusts, during the election campaigns and organizational activities of these five states alone, BJP has received a huge amount of Rs 1,472 crore in the form of donations and donations from across the country. This figure is a clear proof of how big corporate houses, investors and a large section of the general public of the country are still expressing unwavering faith in the policies and leadership of BJP as their political priorities. BJP's aggressive campaigning and strengthening financial position in the election states. This strong financial support had a major role in the level of campaigning, rallies, digital campaigns and Rath Yatras at which the BJP organized during the elections in a politically sensitive and tightly contested state like West Bengal as well as in four other states. To ensure that there was no shortage of resources in the electoral battlefield, the party had activated its central and provincial networks with full force. Political analysts believe that to win any democratic election, ideological support alone is not enough, but a strong and transparent financial base is equally important. BJP made strategic use of these Rs 1,472 crore to give a tough fight to Trinamool Congress in the battle of Bengal and to further strengthen its political ground in other states, the effect of which was clearly visible in the election results. The biggest contribution to this huge fund of Rs 1,472 crore received by BJP has been from major electoral trusts, industrial houses and corporate companies of the country. A large part of these funds received under transparency rules have reached political parties through various registered trusts after the option of electoral bonds was closed. Expressing confidence in the country's economic policies, industrial development and stable governance system, big investors have donated generously to the BJP fund. Opposition parties may have often raised questions about this financial gap, but the truth on the ground is that no other political party in the country is able to compete with the effective manner in which BJP has the art of raising political funds and the strong financial management of the party cadre. BJP's total treasury reached record level, party's strength increased. After the addition of Rs 1,472 crore received during the elections of these five states, Bharatiya Janata Party's total treasury (Party Treasury and Reserves) has now reached the highest and record high among all the political parties of the country. This huge reserve fund with the party will act as a strong shield for other local body, assembly and national level elections to be held across the country in the coming times. On one hand, while other regional and national parties are often unable to pace their election campaigns properly due to financial constraints or lack of funds, BJP, on the basis of its financial strength, has the ability to remain in election mode for twelve months of the year and conduct aggressive campaigns on every front. This treasure of the party is not just paper figures, but it is a living proof of his organizational efficiency and nationwide appeal. New debate on electoral politics and the role of money power in Indian democracy. Such donations amounting to thousands of crores of rupees to political parties have once again sparked a debate in the country on whether there is a need for further financial reforms to make elections in Indian democracy more transparent and less expensive. However, under the strict rules and audit procedures of the Election Commission, all these figures are made public so that the public can see from where and how much money is being received by which party. However, the way BJP has proved its supremacy on the financial front in this electoral battle of Bengal and five states, it has shown that in modern politics, no party can achieve a big victory without technology, public relations and strong money management. This increasing treasury and strategic expenditure of BJP has made it clear that in the coming political future too, they are fully prepared to overwhelm their opponents in every way.
