However, we have setup a 527 org here in the US called 'People for Loksatta' (PFL) that works towards creating awareness and raising funds for LSP from Indian and foreign citizens alike. PFL has several operating costs that many a times come out of funds designated to the party. If foreign citizens come forward and contribute to PFL, we will be in a position to send in more funds to the party directly. Hope that helps, Praveen Hello Mr. Anonymous,

Just bumped into your website after searching futilely for hours for any official election website that could authentically say if it is ok for non-citizen Indians (OCIs) to fund election campaigns via their Indian Bank accounts. Could you please refer me to any information on this topic? I would appreciate it. regards, Anonymous Hi Praveen,
