I accept that I shouldn't have out-rightly expressed Trade-Union and political parties' financial linkages. As per law, trade unions cannot share there funds with the political parties. But since when laws have been followed strictly in India, especially by the people in power?

Here some points in my mind in this regard:

1. 46% of the funding to political parties is unaccounted.
2. Accounting of Trade Unions is highly obscure.
3. A huge amount is received by trade unions, that too, on regular and constant basis, however, no concrete utilization -

of that money can be seen on the ground.
4. It is not easy to digest the claim that so much money is spent on the maintenance of the trade unions. Either it is usurped by the union officials as their private asset or there is some secret tunnel out.

5. No trade Union will take the risk to openly declare that they share their funds with their parent political party.
6. Even is they do not directly share their funds with their parent political parties, what stops them to fund them in some other ways.

Like, funding the expenses of tours of the political leaders. We have many times seen trade unions sharing stage with the political leaders.

7. The largest national political parties get about Rs. 1000 Cr. funding in an year. Then for what exactly, bank unions

are asking levy amounting to 200-300 crores, besides regular subscription fee.

8. Why the activities of unions are so secret? Every now and then, Union election process is questioned. Union leaders are considered holy cow.

Therefore, I have clear doubt that the union money is being used for political activities. May be I am wrong, but I need to ask it. Even if I am wrong, I should know where exactly my money is being used.
