The Election Commission unveiled the top contributors to political parties via electoral bonds, spotlighting prominent figures like 'lottery king' Future Gaming and mining giants Vedanta Limited. Future Gaming leads with a staggering Rs 1,368 crore contribution, followed by infrastructure giant Megha Engineering and Qwik Supply Chain Pvt Ltd. Bharti Airtel and Essel Mining also feature prominently. Notably, steel tycoon Lakshmi Niwas Mittal made individual donations totaling Rs 35 crore.
