Everyone knew that no one had cash. Your Pendalwalla and Micwalla had to earn money. They would have readily accepted checks or other forms of payment. The real trouble is that a lot of political parties fund their campaigns off the books. They can pay only in cash because it is untraceable to them. Your Pendalwalla, alcohol suppliers and Micwalla got cash before so they took cash. You pay them in checks and they take it.

Its not others fault that you keep your party funding off the books. No one asked you to. You can keep it on the books, pay the tax, and pay you vendors legally without issue. The restrictions were on cash, not on any of the other payment systems.

Ruling party had an advantage on getting money, organisational structure, advertisement, etc, etc. Many vendors don't accept checks but real currency.
