Corporate and business houses emerged as the largest contributors, accounting for a major portion of donations. Of the total amount, around Rs 38.48 crore came from corporates, while indvidual donors contributed about Rs 17.21 crore, indicating a strong reliance on organised sector funding.
At the national level, political parties received a total of Rs 6648.56 crore in donations above Rs 20,000 during the same period, indicating that Madhya Pradesh’s share remains relatively small in the overall funding landscape.
