NewsX Exclusive: BJP says TMC lied about party funds to EC
  • 5 years ago
BJP on Thursday said it will demand a probe by Election Commission (EC) into funds received by Trinamool Congress. BJP alleged that the ruling party used small companies to divert chit fund money to fund its campaign for the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.

A number of political parties recently submitted their annual reports of donations over Rs 20,000 received by them, as stipulated under Section 29C of the Representation of the People Act, 1951. The act enables recognized political parties to get tax exemptions on this income.

According to the report filed by Trinamool national secretary Mukul Roy on September 25, Rs 1.4 crore had been donated by Trinetra Consultant Private Limited — a British Indian Street company — to it. This is Trinamool's only external donation over Rs 20,000.
