‘Pradhan Mantri Hafta Vasuli Yojana’: Cong’s swipe at govt over electoral bonds issue

Stepping up its attack on the Centre over the electoral bonds issue, the Congress on Monday accused the Modi government of “hafta vasuli” (extortion) and claimed that a total of 21 firms which have faced investigations from the CBI, ED, or IT, have donated through electoral bonds.

Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said that with each passing day, more examples emerge on the true depths of the “electoral bond scam”.

“Today, we zoom in on the ‘Pradhan Mantri Hafta Vasuli Yojana’, the second of the four channels of corruption in the Electoral Bond Scam: 1.Chanda Do, Dhandha Lo 2.Hafta Vasuli,” Ramesh said in a post on X.
