SOME DEDUCTIONS FROM ELECTORAL BONDS DATA_THE BJP TMC BATTLE

The Diligent Editorial Team

The data on electoral bonds point towards the following with respect to INC, BJP & TMC:

1. The overlapping monetary sources for the BJP & TMC show greater affinity towards the TMC.

2. TMC shares similar monetary sources like that of the INC owing to their similar historical, ideological and political lineage.

3. In the national scale, BJP enjoys monetary benefits much greater than that of the INC.

4. Monetary sources of the BJP are mainly centered around individual donors of the Rajasthan, Karnataka, Telengana, Gujarat, Maharashtra, multinational conglomerates and national business houses.  

5. Monetary sources of the TMC are mainly centered around regional companies of various states.

6. Points 4 & 5 justify our previous predictions (after 2021 West Bengal Legislative Assembly Elections and before the declaration of results of the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections) regarding the economic nature of the battle between BJP & TMC: "A struggle of regional and small capitalists against the Indian partners of international investment capital".

7. While point 6 superficially establishes one of the pre-requisites for the implementation of the Dmitrov Thesis, it must be noted that fascism has not been completely established in our country yet and such perceived division among the capitalists is still realized only within the questions of the national realm.

8. Thus, Left support for any Right alliance does not matter since the Right themselves are capable of creating their own hegemony through support from either teams of business houses. However, there is ample scope for the Left in winning over the toiling masses through mass movements and cultural struggles.
