Activists, represented by lawyer Prashant Bhushan, urge Supreme Court for a special investigation into electoral bond corruption. They demand a retired Supreme Court judge-led team to uncover bribery in political parties, companies, and government agencies. Bhushan emphasizes that the ₹16,500 crore bond sum masks larger contract kickbacks, like the ₹14,000 crore deal awarded after a ₹140 crore bond purchase. Criticism mounts against electoral bonds, disregarding RBI and ECI warnings. Lack of transparency in bond tracking and election spending reform demands attention, as parties exploit loopholes, skewing the playing field. Bhushan advocates for cash-free campaigning to level the electoral landscape.
