Chief Election Commissioner Brahma suggested that a "strong law" regarding political funding is needed for India. As per his reports MLA candidates in AP have spent around 15 crores in the last general elections. He wondered from where the money comes and where does it going. He also stated if MLA’s spent 15 crores for elections then what would be the amount spent by MP’s.
He clarified that though money cannot guarantee votes, the one who can spend more has an upper hand. Referring to the response of political parties on the issue of money power, Brahma said they also agree that its use should be curbed. He said privately most political leaders have agreed that money power is bad..
