It underlined that these companies “have not given money to the party directly and do not appear on its donors’ list.”..

Prudent features as BJP’s biggest donor according to Association for Democratic Reforms’ (ADR’s) year-by-year analysis of electoral trusts. In ADR’s report on electoral trust for 2018-19, Prudent is mentioned as the only trust which declared to the Election Commission its contributions since the financial year 2013-14. That report said that GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited made the largest contribution – Rs 25 crore – out of all corporate and individual donors to electoral trusts in 2018-19.
