Is it somehow possible to find a link between the donations made to ING or BJP & the Project Sanctions granted by thses parties in different states where they are in power.

Maybe a co-relation between the dates of donations & the dates of project sanctions can be found?

Can ADR try & fish out this info with the resources at its command?
