Political parties highly depend upon donations to carry on their political activities and every year it is a norm that they have to submit the details of their donations to Election Commission of India (ECI). For the 2019-20, BJP received a massive Rs 785.77 crore from corporates and individuals. This is for the straight seventh year BJP received massive donations and stood at first place.
This is the biggest party received in the form of donations and BJP’s donation share is five times more than that of Congress party. ITC Group, Lodha Developers, Gulmarg Realtors companies are some of the big donors of the BJP party.
