Karnataka, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, West Bengal and Haryana occupy the rest of the 10 top spots in micro-donations. BJP leader CR Paatil has the highest number of referrals for the donations in his name.
The party had launched a “special micro-donation campaign” on the birth anniversary of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee last year in December, seeking to raise funds through small contributions from its members and others.
