The government on Monday said it will go ahead with electoral bonds even if consensus eludes on the issue as political parties have not come up yet with any suggestion on the proposal.

The system of cash donation has to change and people despite knowing the “truth” are “reluctant” to offer their suggestions on the electoral bonds, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said.

“Therefore, if suggestions don’t come and consensus eludes us, then the government of the day can’t run away from its responsibility. It will have to announce its decision which will then become the law of he land,” he said
