Congress donations decline by nearly 75% year-on-year, according to contribution reports filed with India’s Election Commission. The Hindu and Business Line (Home) both cite Congress’s disclosed contributions above ₹20,000 and report a fall from ₹517.39 crore in 2024-25 to about ₹130.69 crore (reported as roughly ₹131 crore in other coverage).
Business Line adds comparative context by including BJP figures for 2024-25. Times of India emphasizes that the decline leaves Congress at its lowest level in around three years. While all accounts focus on the same submission-based measure of donations, they differ slightly in how the change is framed—using “sharpest decline in a decade” versus “lowest in 3 years”—and in whether they foreground the BJP comparison.
