Addressing Funding Queries at Belaganj Event
While speaking at an event in Belaganj, Prashant Kishor addressed a crowd that included members of the Muslim community, responding to common questions about how he funds his campaigns. “Ten governments in different states are running on my strategies,” he said. “Do you think I won’t have enough money to set up tents and canopies for my campaign? If I advise someone in just one election, my fee is Rs 100 crore or even more. For the next two years, I can continue to fund my campaign with just one such election advice.”
