BJP declared Rs 529.39 crore in campaign spending across five 2026 assembly elections, more than double Congress's Rs 248.55 crore, according to Election Commission filings. Nearly two-thirds of the gap came from advertising and star campaigners. BJP spent over half its funds in West Bengal, where it ended 15 years of Trinamool rule, while Congress focused on Keralam.
