    "content": "This Bill does not concern county governments. It does not involve or occasion additional expenditure. The Act stipulates 0.3 per cent of the total national revenue goes to the political parties. So, it does not require any extra expenditure. It is just the Fund that has already been given whose size we want to increase, so that many other political parties can benefit from this funding. It is going to enhance democracy, so that rigging does not arise. In this hon. House, you will agree with me, we have many Members who were rigged out in various political parties and had to jump to other political parties and found their way here. So, rigging and unfair nominations have been the order of the day in some political parties. If we are going to reduce the threshold, this is going to expand the net. I said that some people who lose in nominations go to other parties and win in elections. That means that there must have been something wrong as far as the nominations of a party were concerned."
