NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Top donors to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party since 2019 under a now-scrapped opaque funding scheme include Megha Engineering, Reliance affiliate Qwik Supply Chain and Vedanta, data made public on Thursday shows.
The data, made public by the Election Commission of India under orders of the country's Supreme Court, also shows that top donors to India's main opposition Congress party included Megha Engineering and its affiliates, Vedanta and MKJ Enterprises.
India will hold national elections starting from April 19 in which Modi will seek a third term.
