2 Introduction All registered political parties are required to submit a statement of election expenditure to the Election Commission of India (ECI) within 90 days of completion of Lok Sabha Elections. Similarly, all contesting candidates are required to submit their expenditure statement to the ECI within 30 days of completion of elections. The expenditure statements of political parties contain details of lumpsum amount given to the candidates and the abstract statements of candidates provide information on lumpsum amount received from the parties. This report analyses the difference in the declarations made by political parties and their MPs on the lumpsum amounts granted and received as part of election expenditure during the Lok Sabha elections in Of a total of 543 MPs, complete information was available for 539 MPs which ADR has analysed. Of the remaining 4 MPs, 3 were Independent candidates and 1 MP, Shri Gopinathrao Munde, of BJP had passed away and his expenditure statement was not available on the website of the ECI. The analysis is made based on the expenditure reports submitted by the parties and the MPs from the date of announcement of elections to the date of completion of elections. The expenditure limit for candidates is revised from time to time. During Lok Sabha Elections in 2014, the limit of expenditure for a parliamentary constituency in bigger states like U. P, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh was Rs. 70 lakhs and the lowest limit for a parliamentary constituency was Rs. 54 lakhs for the constituencies of smaller states such as Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh and Goa. Summary Total numbers of MPs whose expenditure statements were analysed: 539 MPs. Out of 342 MPs from national parties, a total of Rs 7, lakhs (~ Rs crores) was declared by 263 MPs as received from their parties whereas the national parties have declared that Rs 5, lakhs (~ Rs crores) was given to only 175 MPs. Candidates from BSP did not succeed in winning a seat in the Lok Sabha, hence the party is not included in this analysis. S.

4 Recommendations of ADR 1. Regular submission of Election Expenses by political parties While the political parties are required to declare their expenditure during Assembly and Lok Sabha elections within 75 and 90 days of declaration of results respectively, the deadline is not always met by the parties. The website of the Election Commission of India provides scanned copies of reminders sent to the political parties for defaulting in their submission. A PIL filed by ADR in the Delhi High Court in May, 2014, not only requests for regular submission of election expenditure by contesting political parties but also a cap on the parties expenditure. 2. Details of donors Details of the donors such as their names, companies, address and the individual contribution is unavailable for public scrutiny. Hence, a format similar to the donations report, submitted to the ECI on an annual basis, has to be prescribed so as to bring in more transparency in the functioning of the political parties especially during elections. The format should include all modes of payments such as cash, DD, cheque and electronic transfer along with the donors details. 3. Data verification with the election expenses submitted by the candidates It is seen from the analysis that the declaration by 33% MPs on lumpsum amount received, does not match with their parties declarations regarding the amount allocated to the candidate for election expenditure. As there is discrepancy in the data provided by the candidate and his/ her political party, it should be made mandatory to cross check data provided by all the candidates and the political parties. The Election Commission could scrutinize the expenditure statements within 6 months of declaration of election results, and erring parties and their candidates should be penalized. This should also be treated as wrong filing of affidavits by the candidates, if proven. The transparency guidelines issued by the Election Commission of India, which came into force on 1st October, 2014 specifically states that those parties providing any lumpsum amounts to their candidates should do so through crossed account payee cheque or draft or through bank account transfer and not in cash. Once these guidelines are strictly followed, scrutiny of the amounts given by parties and that received by the candidates can be conducted. Page 4 of 18

5 Lok Sabha 2014 Election Expenditure Analysis: A comparison of declaration of election expenses by political parties and their MPs Lumpsum amount granted by parties to their MPs for election expenditure BJP, being the party with the maximum number of MPs (282), has provided aid to 159 MPs while INC declared that the party provided a lumpsum amount to 7 of its 44 MPs. Candidates from BSP did not succeed in winning a seat in the Lok Sabha while CPI has one MP and he was not provided any aid by the party. NCP declared that the party provided a lumpsum amount to 5 out of 6 MPs for expenditure during Lok Sabha elections, 2014 while CPM provided aid to 4 out of its 9 MPs. BJP is the only party to provide aid of less than Rs 10 lakhs to its 17 MPs (out of 159 MPs) while INC, NCP and CPM provided more than Rs 10 lacs to their MPs. There were a total of 195 MPs from 28 regional parties of which the complete information is available for 191 MPs, from 26 parties. Lumpsum amount declared by MPs as received from their parties 71 BJP MPs declared that a total of Rs 1, lakhs was received from BJP while their names were not listed in the expenditure statement submitted by the party. 19 MPs from BJP have declared amounts less than what the party had provided. Difference in amount equals Rs lakhs INC declared that the party did not fund 37 of its 44 MPs, while 11 MPs have declared in their affidavits that they received a total of Rs 1,08,60,509 (~Rs lakhs) In case of 4 MPs of CPI (M), there was no variation found. MPs declared the same amount received as stated by their party. Of the regional parties, a total of 38 MPs from 15 different parties have either declared nil amount as received or mentioned various amounts as received from their respective parties which do not match with the affidavits submitted by the parties. Party-wise grant to MPs for Election Expenses Out of 159 MPs to whom the party gave lumpsum amounts for election expenditure, BJP declared having given a total of Rs 122 lakhs to 17 MPs, each receiving a sum less than or equal to Rs 10 lakhs whereas the party declared having given Rs 4, lakhs to 142 MPs, each receiving a sum of more than Rs 10 lakhs for their election expenditure. INC, with 44 MPs in the Lok Sabha, declared having given a total of Rs 270 lakhs to 7 MPs, each receiving amounts above Rs 10 lakhs while NCP, with 6 MPs in the Lok Sabha, declared having given a total of Rs 250 lakhs to 5 MPs, each receiving a sum greater than Rs 10 lakhs. Party Total Lok No. of MPs who were Total amount given (sum less No. of MPs who were Total amount given (sum Sabha MPs given Rs 10 lacs or less than or equal to Rs 10 lakhs) given more than Rs 10 lacs more than Rs 10 lakhs) BJP Rs 122 lakhs 142 Rs 4,753 lakhs INC 44 0 Rs 0 7 Rs 270 lakhs NCP 6 0 Rs 0 5 Rs 250 lakhs CPI 1 0 Rs 0 0 Rs 0 Page 5 of 18

6 Party Total Lok No. of MPs who were Total amount given (sum less No. of MPs who were Total amount given (sum Sabha MPs given Rs 10 lacs or less than or equal to Rs 10 lakhs) given more than Rs 10 lacs more than Rs 10 lakhs) CPM 9 0 Rs 0 4 Rs 128 lakhs Table: Party-wise aid to MPs for election expenses Party-wise break up of difference in amounts declared by MPs S. No. Of the 159 BJP MPs to whom aid was given as declared by the party, only 103 MPs have declared the same amount as mentioned by the political party, whereas 19 MPs have said that they have received an amount from the party which is lesser than what the party claims to have granted. It is also to be noted that 36 BJP MPs have declared an amount which is higher than what the party has said to have given to them for their Lok Sabha expenditure. Among the 6 National Parties, as BJP has the maximum number of sitting MPs in the 16 th Lok Sabha, the discrepancy in their declarations is most pronounced in the party. CPM is the only party in which the declarations made by the party and its MPs match with respect to the lumpsum amount for election expenditure. Thus, out of the total 175 MPs from the National Parties to whom aid was provided, as declared by their respective parties, one MP (Smt. Mala Rajya Laxmi Shah, from BJP) declared that she did not receive any money while the party declared otherwise, 19 MPs had declared an amount which was lesser than what their parties had declared to have given to them and 39 MPs had declared an amount which was higher than what their parties had declared to have given to them. Only 66% of the sitting MPs claims of receiving a lumpsum amount matched correctly against the claims made by their parties. Party No. of MPs to whom aid was given as declared by the party No. of MPs who have declared nil amount received No. of MPs who have declared lesser amount received than stated by the party No. of MPs who have declared larger amount received than stated by the party No. of MPs who have declared same amount received as stated by the party 1 BJP INC NCP CPI CPM Total Table: Party-wise breakup of difference in amounts declared by the MPs Bharatiya Janata Party MPs who have declared an amount as received from the party when the party did not allot any The list below provides the names of 71 MPs who had declared that various lumpsum amounts were provided by their party for their election expenditure while BJP s election expenditure statement does not include their names in the list of beneficiaries to whom a lumpsum amount was provided.
