The only one to go with a single name in the electoral bond donor list, Monica, donated Rs 5 lakh through electoral bonds to the Congress, according to Election Commission data made public on Thursday.
Monica, whose just first name has been mentioned in the list, bought five electoral bonds, each amounting to Rs 1 lakh in October 2021.
A total of Rs 5 lakh has been given through electoral bonds to the Congress.
The Election Commission on Thursday made public a fresh data set of electoral bonds, including their alpha-numeric numbers that can help match their purchasers with the political parties that received the funds.
Two separate lists of the donors and the recipients were published by the poll panel on its website after the details were submitted to it by the State Bank of India (SBI) on Thursday as per a Supreme Court order.
The SBI was the only bank authorised to sell and redeem the bonds, which were first issued in March 2018 and were being sold until the scheme was declared null and void by the Supreme Court last month.
The number of Rs 1 lakh bonds purchased stood at 2,228 and their buyers included one person named ‘Monica’, the only one to go with a single name.
