Electoral Bonds Data: We're Bringing You The Big Picture — And We Need Your Support
For nearly 6 years, The Quint has been relentlessly pursuing the truth.
Dear Readers,
We are reaching out to you today to ask for your support in our ongoing coverage of electoral bonds and what the data actually reveals.
For nearly 6 years, The Quint has been relentlessly pursuing the truth.
In April 2018, an investigation by The Quint revealed that electoral bonds carried unique hidden alphanumeric numbers. Another investigation carried out in November 2019 found that the State Bank of India actually records these hidden numbers — making the government's claim of donor anonymity untrue.
As you know, the Election Commission of India recently revealed the SBI-provided data on electoral bonds, and we are rigorously analysing the numbers to bring you the bigger picture behind the political donations made since 2019.
