印度财政部长尼尔玛拉·西塔拉曼 (Nirmala Sitharaman) 为选举债券计划进行辩护，称这是一个更好的制度，因为资金转移在账户中是可见的，而不像以前把装满现金的袋子和手提箱交给各政党的做法。 Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman defended the electoral bond scheme, stating it's a better system as money transfers are visible in accounts, unlike the earlier practice of cash-filled sacks and suitcases given to parties. 她指责国大党在人民院选举宣言中删除了恢复旧养老金计划的条款，并误导民众获取选票。 She targeted the Congress for dropping the restoration of the old pension scheme from its Lok Sabha election manifesto, accusing the party of misleading people for votes.
