MUMBAI: Political rivals may like to slot the Aam Aadmi Party as a Delhi phenomenon, but its funding pattern reveals that Delhi has contributed only 20% or Rs 4.5 crore to AAP’s total collections of about Rs 22.3 crore. NRIs contributed 30%, about Rs 6.7 crore, while the rest came from across the country, with Maharashtra alone chipping in Rs 2.8 crore.TOI painstakingly downloaded details of all of the 83,000-odd donations put up on AAP’s website till Friday afternoon and analysed it to see which cities and states contributed how much and the distribution by the size of contributions.What is clear is that the big cities are the major sources of funding, with the top 11 contributing 73% of the total. Greater Mumbai, including Thane and Mumbai suburban, is the second largest contributor after Delhi. Faraway Bangalore contributed as much as Rs 1.3 crore followed by Noida with Rs 1.1 crore. Surprisingly, even Pune has contributed as much as Rs 60 lakh, almost as much as Delhi’s satellite Gurgaon, which gave Rs 70 lakh.Hyderabad, Chennai, Faridabad and Ghaziabad added Rs 30 lakh each to the party funds. Incidentally, Bangalore has the highest number of contributors, almost 7,500, after Delhi with over 13,000 donors. Greater Mumbai too has as many as 5,300 donors.Over a third of the party’s total contributions are from the five states of Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Haryana and Andhra Pradesh in that order. Though AAP has contributions from almost every state from across the country, it seems to be a largely urban phenomenon with the maximum funds coming from metros and tier two cities. For instance, about 90% of Karnataka’s contributions come from Bangalore alone, while Greater Mumbai accounts for 72% and Pune another 20%, taking their share to 92% of Maharashtra’s contributions. Over 73% of money from Uttar Pradesh too is accounted for by Noida and Ghaziabad.Contributions from the US amounting to about Rs 2.4 crore, more than a third of the total NRI funding. This is followed by Singapore and the UAE accounting for over 10% each. Thus, these countries alone account for well over half the NRI funds for AAP.More than half the contributions ranged from Rs 500 to Rs 5,000. Over 23,000 people donated Rs 1,000-5,000. However, over a third of the funding has come from people who donated Rs 10,000 to Rs 1 lakh. Thirteen people contributed over Rs 10 lakh, including noted lawyer Shanthi Bhushan, who contributed Rs 1 crore.(Source: AAP website)
