The use of black money is a major problem in the election campaigns in India where such wealth is used for biryani parties as well as marriage ceremonies without a bride and groom to lure voters, former Chief Election Commissioner S Y Quraishi has said. We do have some problems and the use of black money is a major problem. We have made life really miserable for politicians but the fact is that a lot more than the prescribed money is used. But we are clear that state funding of elections is not the answer. We are trying to be more and more rigid with the rules, he said.
