AAP and Shiv Sena together got more donations than Congress

Hindustan Times  

At a meeting of its state and central level leaders this week, the Congress finalised plans for a 40-day mass outreach programme to seek donations for the party. Election and political party watchdog Association for Democratic Reforms last month released its report on donations received by 31 regional parties in 2016-17. The Congress has received less in donations than the Shiv Sena and the Aam Aadmi Party, two regional parties, collectively received in both 2015-16 and 2016-17. In fact, the Congress’s overall share in total donations received by all political parties fell to an all-time low in 2015-16 and even more in 2016-17. While total donations received by the Congress in 2016-17 were less than what the Shiv Sena and the AAP got together, its total income was more than 3.5 times the income of these two regional parties.
