Black money in polls: EC writes to political parties
The Statesman | Press Trust of India | New Delhi, 27 Dec:
In order to curb the use of black money during Assembly polls in five states, the Election Commission has written to all political parties asking them to avoid cash transactions and instruct their cadres not to carry huge cash during elections.
The Commission, in this context, has written a letter to all recognised political parties in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Goa and Manipur, enlisting the steps it has undertaken to “curb use of money power during elections”.
The EC also asked all the parties to ensure that any fund provided by the party to its candidates for election purpose should be reflected in the day-to-day account of election expenditure of the candidate.
“The Commission has also advised candidates to open separate bank accounts for their election expenses and to make all election expenses through the said bank accounts. The parties are also required to maintain and lodge the accounts before the Commission after the election is over,” the EC said.
