The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has called the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Economic Advisor Sanjeev Sanyal as “a new addition to the list of modern-day Mir Jafars." The statement by the TMC came after Sanyal podcast interview where he was seen commenting that Bengalis of Kolkata are afflicted with "poverty of aspirations" and aspire to be “an antel". “If your society aspires that the highest form of life is a union leader or an adda intellectual. That is your aspiration that you are sitting around smoking and sipping your Old Monk and passing judgment on the rest of the world, rather than doing anything. That is the aspiration of the society. If Mrinal Sen’s movies are the aspiration of your society, then do not complain that that is what you get."

Ten regional parties, most of whom were in power in their respective states, received a combined donation of about Rs 900 crore through electoral bonds prior to April 12, 2019, the date after which the details of all poll bonds redeemed by political parties were made available earlier this week.
Electoral bonds were intended to increase transparency in the funding of political parties. But as the data released last week shows, it fell well short of that target. Instead, it ended up potentially compromising corporate governance standards by enabling the flow of funds between companies through various kinds of financial arrangements—without limits and without adequate disclosures.
