India: What is wrong with how political parties are funded?

In this Handout photograph released by Indian Congress party office shows India's opposition Congress party leader Rahul Gandhi, left, waves to supporters from a bus during a two month-long cross-country march from the northeastern Indian state of Manipur in Thoubal district, Sunday, Jan. 14, 2024. Gandhi has begun a two month-long cross-country march to regain some of the popularity it has lost to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling Hindu-nationalist party ahead of a crucial national vote this year. The march will cover 6,713 km (4,171 miles) in 67 days, mostly in buses but also on foot, while passing through 110 districts in 15 states. Photo: Indian Congress Party via AP
