| The BJP has received 3 times as much funds in donations as the Congress - a hefty Rs. 437.35 crore compared to Rs. 141.46 crore - so far in the financial year 2014-2015, says a report by the non-profit Association for Democratic Reforms and the National Election Watch.
With 1,234 catalogued donations -- all above Rs. 20,000 -- from individuals and corporates, the BJP tops the list.
The funds it declared is more than the combined donations received by the Congress, the Nationalist Congress Party, the CPI and the CPM.
A chunk of this, 39%, came from corporates, and the state that contributed most is Maharashtra.
The amount of donation to the BJP increased from last year's Rs. 170.86 crore to Rs. 437.35 crore - a jump of 156%.
But percentage-wise, it is Sharad Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party that has witnessed the highest increase -- 177% from last year's Rs. 14.02 crore to Rs. 38.82 crore.
The BSP declared that it did not receive any donation above Rs. 20,000, as it has been declaring for the past 10 years.
Among the corporates, it was Bharti Group's Satya Electoral Trust that has donated the most to political parties, followed closely by the General Electoral Trust, the report said
