PRIME Minister Narendra Modi has defended electoral bonds, saying they made the money trail clear, and “everyone would regret scrapping it”. “Money is spent in elections, nobody can deny this. My party also spends, all parties, candidates spend and money has to be taken from people. I wanted that we try something to free the elections of this black money,” he told news agency ANI in an elaborate interview. He said, “There was a pure thought in my mind. We were looking for a way. We found a small way, we never claimed that this was the absolute way.”
Among the various issues he spoke on in the interview were his big plans for making India developed by 2047; ED’s role in tackling black money; his party’s commitment towards ‘One Nation One Poll’; the North-South debate; and Tesla chief Elon Musk’s upcoming visit to India.
