Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge criticizes PM Narendra Modi's government for allegedly using State Bank of India (SBI) to conceal "dubious dealings" related to electoral bonds. Kharge claims BJP benefits from the opaque scheme and questions SBI's plea for extended disclosure deadline. He asserts SBI's move aims to delay transparency until after Lok Sabha polls. Congress MP Manish Tewari urges Supreme Court to intervene, emphasizing public's right to know about electoral funding. SBI defends, citing anonymous donations and decentralized data recording. Supreme Court previously labeled the scheme as violative of transparency rights.
