New Delhi: Hours after the Election Commission released electoral bonds data, Congress leader Amitabh Dubey on Thursday alleged a discrepancy in the number of entries in donor and recipient files.
He also asked why the data shared with the Election Commission pertains to a period from April 2019 even though the scheme was introduced in 2017.
“The donors’ file has 18,871 entries, the recipients’ file has 20,421 entries. Why the discrepancy @TheOfficialSBI?” Amitabh Dubey, in charge of research and monitoring in the Congress’ communication department, wrote on X.
Congress MP and AICC in-charge of Andhra Pradesh Manickam Tagore also criticised the State of Bank of India over the alleged discrepancy.
Sharing Dubey’s post, Tagore wrote: “Ah, yes, the electoral bond scheme, where transparency meets selective amnesia. Donors file: 18,871 entries. Recipients file: 20,421 entries. Coincidence? I think not.”
“@TheOfficialSBI, you’ve truly mastered the art of hiding in plain sight,” he added.
Youth Congress chief Srinivas BV also took a swipe at the government over the electoral bonds data.
“The meaning of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s slogan ‘Na khaunga na khane dunga’ meant that “I will threaten companies, get ED raids done, collect donations, and keep filling BJP’s coffers in the name of doing business,” Srinivas wrote on X.
