Our three-part investigative series about poll funding in India is out.

In the first part, we dropped hints about how the BJP’s financial rise has been driven by a drastic surge in donations, and how there is a pattern to that money flow in several cases. In the second installment, we revealed a long list of corporate donors which gave money to the BJP and also faced action by central agencies. And in the final part, we explored the role of electoral trusts and what India Inc’s ‘semi anonymity’ reveals.

But how did this series come about? How much time did Newslaundry and The News Minute spend trying to make this story happen? What were the editorial challenges for this collaborative project? What next? And what does this all mean for a country preparing to vote in a new government?

In this YouTube live, we will discuss the investigation and respond to all the feedback from subscribers. Moderated by Manisha Pande, the session will include Raman Kirpal and Prateek Goyal from Newslaundry and Dhanya Rajendran and Korah Abraham from The News Minute.

Tune in.

General elections are around the corner, and Newslaundry and The News Minute have ambitious plans together to focus on the issues that really matter to the voter. Choose an election project you would like to support and power our journalism. Click here.
