In India, the richest political party in terms of declared assets and donations is generally considered to be the Bharatiya Janata Party. According to election affidavits and reports, it has consistently reported the highest income, mainly through electoral bonds, donations, and membership drives. Other major parties like the Indian National Congress also have significant funds but usually less compared to BJP in recent years. Wealth of political parties is measured through audited financial statements submitted to the Election Commission of India. However, actual influence and resources may vary across states and elections, not just declared financial assets alone.
