Former MLA Anant Singh Claims 19 Crore Spent on Wife's 2019 Campaign, Congress Only Gave 8 Lakh

In a recently surfaced audio clip, former Bihar legislator Anant Singh claims that he poured ₹19 crore into his wife Neelam Devi’s campaign for the 2019 Munger Lok Sabha seat. He says the Congress party contributed a modest ₹8 lakh, a figure he considers insufficient. The clip, which has gone viral on social media, raises questions about the financial dynamics of the election. Singh’s statements have not yet been corroborated by election authorities or the Congress party. The claim is being scrutinized by political analysts and election observers.

Anant Singh, who served as an MLA in Bihar, has been a vocal critic of the Congress party’s campaign strategies. The audio clip was first shared by a user on a popular messaging platform and has since attracted attention from news outlets across the state. While the claim is dramatic, no official audit of campaign expenditures has been released to confirm the figures.

The Munger Lok Sabha constituency, known for its competitive politics, witnessed a close contest in 2019. If Singh’s allegations hold true, they could prompt a review of campaign finance disclosures in the region. Political observers are awaiting responses from both the Congress party and the Election Commission of India.
