Looks like i spoke to this MP – she said Sureshji aap se baat ho chuki hai na – hum dekhlenge and she hung up	Dhurve,Smt. Jyoti	Bharatiya Janata Party
election commission hasn’t raised the ceiling of the expenditure. So this has to be raised. EC has imposed so many restrictions that it becomes very difficult – which is why parties refused to bring parties to come under RTI. Even 60 lakhs is not sufficient, didn’t want to comment on the upper limit but wanted the government to comment on this. Also said Money power should be reduced. But definitely cannot Jay Panda’s effort – as he is bound by the party discpline	Dias,Dr. Charles	Indian National Congress
