SBI's request for an extension on disclosing electoral bond details has sparked controversy and political accusations. Find out the latest developments!

The State Bank of India (SBI) has stirred up a storm by appealing to the Supreme Court for an extension of over three months to submit information on electoral bonds. This move has raised eyebrows and led to Justice Deepak Gupta questioning the credibility of SBI's explanation, highlighting concerns over transparency. Sanjay Raut's comments on the situation added fuel to the fire, accusing the government of using SBI to conceal questionable activities through electoral bonds.

The Congress has launched a scathing attack on the Modi government, labeling their actions as desperate and aimed at masking 'dubious dealings' through SBI's involvement. The ongoing tussle involves SBI's plea to transfer details of electoral bonds to the Election Commission, showcasing the intensity of the political battle surrounding transparency in funding.

The timeline intensifies as pressure mounts on SBI to meet deadlines and transfer the necessary details to the EC promptly. The tussle between political parties and the banking giant continues to unfold, shedding light on the complexities of electoral funding and the lengths to which parties will go to maintain secrecy.

In a surprising twist, the deadline for disclosing electoral bond details has become a hot topic, with SBI's request for an extension until June 30. This extension raises questions about the timing of the disclosure and the implications it may have on the upcoming political landscape. As the drama unfolds, the public awaits eagerly to see the outcome of this high-stakes battle for transparency and accountability.
