Abstract

During the 2019 general elections, the BJP and the Congress collectively spent an astronomical sum of over ₹20 billion. This underscores the impact of the absence of spending caps on political parties. It is, therefore, imperative to reassess India’s political funding framework to ensure the integrity and transparency of elections
