X-ray of treasury before Delhi elections: BJP has Rs 6900 crore, Congress has only Rs 53 crore

News India Live, Digital Desk: The bugle of assembly elections (2025) is about to sound in Delhi. Rallies, speeches and promises all have their place, but there is one thing without which today’s politics is considered incomplete, and that is “funds” i.e. money. The recently revealed figures have sparked a new debate in political circles.

The picture is very clear, on one hand the coffers of the ruling BJP (BJP) are filled to the brim, while on the other hand, the oldest party of the country, Congress (Congress), seems to be lagging far behind in terms of funds, in fact, very far behind.

World difference: 6900 vs 53

Anyone can be shocked to see the figures of the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) and the latest reports.

• Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP): close to Rs 6,900 crore Bank balance more than Rs. This amount is so huge that even if all other parties are combined, BJP will still have the upper hand.
• Congress: On the other hand, Congress has only Rs 53 crore (According to some reports) It has come to light.

Yes, you read it right. This difference is not just of 19-20, but is like an elephant and an ant. Where are thousands of crores and where are a few crores!

What will be the impact on elections?

Now the question arises whether this mountain of money affects the election results? Those who know politics believe that contesting elections is a very expensive task in today’s times. Money has to be spent like water for hoardings, digital campaigns, tours and rallies. In such a situation, BJP is in a very strong position financially.

At the same time, this is a big challenge for Congress. It will not be easy to fight such a huge machinery with limited resources. Perhaps this is the reason why for some time now we have been hearing opposition parties talking about lack of funds and crowd-funding (seeking donations from the public).

What does the general public think?

The beauty of democracy is that here votes have more power than notes. Money can mobilize resources and create publicity, but winning public trust is a different thing. Delhi elections are always interesting because the people here take decisions very thoughtfully.

However, this statistics show that even before entering the electoral fray, a party is looking like a “strongman”. Now it remains to be seen whether ‘money power’ or ‘people power’ wins in the 2025 conflict!
