The report said that the political parties need to submit their statements of funds collected and expenditure between announcement and completion of elections from three weeks till three months based on the notification issued by poll panel.

The report further said, “AIFB is the only party that declared no funds were collected either at the central level or state level despite contesting elections while the AIFB and Janata Dal-United are the only parties that have incurred no expenditure either at the central or state level despite contesting elections.”

“Expenditure on publicity was 44.43 per cent of the overall expenditure declared under various heads and 16.03 per cent on expenditure on other miscellaneous,” the report said.

“Political parties contesting in Maharashtra and Haryana Assembly polls spent Rs 58.66 crore on media advertisements, Rs 10.40 crore on publicity materials and Rs 4.83 crore on public meetings,” the ADR report said.

Publicity expenditure from Maharashtra state units of parties were the highest as an amount of Rs 60.80 crore was spent on publicity which was only Rs 8.06 crore in Haryana.
