A journalist who bought Rs 1,000 electoral bonds in 2018 sought an explanation from the State Bank of India (SBI) after her name appeared in the purchaser's list for the year 2020. Journalist Poonam Agarwal explained she waited for the second round to be published today before tweeting this information. However, she also tweeted to X, formerly Twitter, as the list for 2018 until March 2019 was not published. "I bought 2 #ElectoralBonds of Rs 1,000 each in April 2018. But the data shows my name as a purchaser of dated 20 Oct 2020. Is this an error, inaccuracy or my namesake purchased the bond. It will be a big coincidence. A unique hidden no. in d data would've cleared doubts," Agarwal said. However, after a video showing her with an Electoral Bond dated October 20, 2020, the journalist clarified. "I have come across a video that I recorded at The Quint in which I am showing an #ElectoralBond dated 20/10/2020. I don't remember purchasing a bond in 2020 but only in 2018. Unique number will clear many doubts. Till then let's not question SBI data," she wrote. Election Commission Uploads Fresh Electoral Bonds Data On Its Website; Check Full List.
