On electoral bonds, PM Modi Today (April 15th) said: “Due to electoral bonds you are getting the trail of the money. Which company gave it? How did they give it? Where did they give it? And that is why I say when they will think honestly, everyone will regret it (on the Supreme Court decision to scrap electoral bonds)”
PM Modi praised the Supreme Court’s significant decision in the JMM MPs bribery case on Monday, referring to it as a “great judgment.” The Supreme Court, led by CJI, overturned a ruling granting immunity to MPs and MLAs from prosecution in bribery cases for speeches or votes. Prime Minister Modi praised the decision, calling it a “great judgment,” emphasizing the importance of clean politics and public confidence in the system. The ruling promotes transparency and upholds democratic ideals.
Prime Minister Modi criticized the Supreme Court, suggesting that even a revered figure like Lord Krishna could be accused of corruption in today’s world. This comes after the Supreme Court invalidated the electoral bonds scheme, citing violations of citizens’ right to information and potential quid pro quo arrangements. The Court mandated immediate disclosure of donation details and cessation of electoral bond issuance.
