Poll panel allows NCP Sharad Pawar to collect donations

The Election Commission permitted the Nationalist Congress Party-Sharadchandra Pawar to accept donations for Maharashtra polls. Supriya Sule led the delegation for this decision, valid till the Supreme Court verdict. Emphasizing transparency and white money, Sule flagged symbol issues in Satara; ‘man blowing trumpet’ versus ‘trumpet’. The party can accept contributions excluding government companies.
