CJI: The problem of the scheme is if it doesn't provide a level playing field to political parties and if it suffers from opacity as the argument for the other side is. This is not to prevent the legislature from coming out with a scheme which deals with these deficiencies.

CJI: We are not saying what the scheme should be. Maybe the earlier scheme failed. Maybe it didn't get you as much white money into the electoral funding as you otherwise would have liked but look at the safeguards in earlier provisions.
