NEW DELHI: BJP kept up its mocking of Congresscrowdfunding effort by juxtaposing it against the recent recovery of a huge cash haul from the opposition party’s MP and suggesting that the intiative to access funds from people was only an effort to launder the black money by making it appear as contributions from people.
The ruling party released a clip from the 1984 movie ‘Inquilaab’ of a conversation between two characters over using black money to buy votes and passing it on as donation by well-wishers.

The cash filled suitcases were used as a reference to the cash seizures from Congress MP Dhiraj Sahu by BJP.
