#UltiPultiBaat Episode #17: Dirty Money, Dirty Politics - Exposing India's Corrupt Donation Network
This spirited and satirical dialogue bounces back and forth between two friends, Raj and Priya, as they navigate the complexities of political funding in India through the lens of electoral bonds.
Raj, in need of some quick cash, approaches Priya, who teases him about the massive donations the BJP has received through electoral bonds, suggesting jokingly that Modi might have accidentally transferred some funds to Raj, a fervent supporter.
The conversation quickly escalates to a debate on the nature of these donations, with Priya questioning whether they are given freely or under pressure, especially from companies under investigation.
Their always (somewhat) witty exchange not only sheds light on the controversial aspects of political donations but also reflects the everyday conversations of young Indians trying to make sense of their political landscape.
