Supreme Court Strikes Down Electoral Bond Scheme
In a historic decision, the Supreme Court has declared the electoral bond scheme proposed by the late Arun Chaitley in 2017 as unconstitutional. The scheme allowed individuals to make anonymous donations to political parties, making it the primary mode of donating for parties like the BJP and Congress.
