YSR Congress is the first party in the country that does not spend the donations it received while TDP has spent more than what it has received.

The Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) released the figures based on revenue figures submitted by the parties to the Central Election Commission for the financial year 2020-21.

While YSR Congress received donations of Rs 107.89 crore this financial year, the party spent only Rs 80 lakh.
