Ready to face state polls in October after facing a resounding defeat in the Lok Sabha polls, funds seem to be the party's overarching concern.
A senior Congress leader informed that the Congress party managed to get funds during the Lok Sabha polls in the hope that it will either come to power on its own or with the support of regional parties.
"Big corporates, developers and investors group voluntarily offered election funding to us. Therefore, we could make buzz and put some dignified fight against the BJP. However, the same donors have now tightened their purse strings. While on the other hand the Sena- BJP is plush with funds. It is a big challenge for us to mobilize resources," a highly placed Congress party source informed.
