Team Anna asks Cong to come clean on election funding

Targeting  the Congress party once again, veteran social activist Anna Hazare and his close aide Arvind Kejrival on Monday asked it to make public expenses and sources of funding for poll campaign in five states. 

“We gave all details on our website, the list of donors, expenses, etc. So, we want to know from Digvijay Singh, all Congress leaders, including Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, how much did they spend on helicopters and rallies. They should make their expenses public and put it on their websites,” Kejriwal said.

Kejriwal said public had a right to know about the sources of funding for such big campaigns, where almost all leaders of various parties were travelling in helicopters.
“There were big rallies being held and a lot of expenditure happened. Where did all this money come from? Whose money is it? How much money was spent? People have the right to know,” Kejriwal asserted.

Hazare also supported Kejriwal’s demand.“Expenses must be made public. If it is not your personal money, the details should be made public,” he said. Reacting to the remarks, Digvijay Singh said the Congress would “declare the expenses to the Election Commission and not to Arvind Kejriwal.”
