Beers & Burgers: Harvey's To Go | SaltWire #harveys #burger #beer #foodbloggerNEW DELHI - A Supreme Court decision to scrap a controversial political funding system has pushed contributions to parties towards"black money", or illegal funds, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in remarks broadcast on Monday.
In his most detailed defence of the scrapped system days before India begins voting in a general election, Modi denied the accusations and said companies had also donated to the opposition. "In decision-making, we learn and improve. It is very possible to improve in this too. But today we have completely pushed the country towards black money," Modi said in an interview to news agency ANI, in which Reuters has a minority stake.
Data released on orders of the Supreme Court in March showed Modi's BJP was the largest beneficiary of the scrapped system.
