Cash-starved Congress plans to crowdfund war chest

The Indian National Congress party is set to launch a crowd funding platform to supplement its fund generation. The platform will be hosted on the party's website and will seek small donations from supporters. The move comes as a response to the electoral bond regime, which has allegedly led to a decline in the party's fund collection. The Congress aims to not only raise funds but also create a sense of ownership and belonging among its supporters through this initiative. Crowd funding in politics seems inspired by liberal political parties and opposition outfits of the West.
