Why he wants to donate to the political parties. Let him donate to poor people, blind schools, orphans.

For political parties, voluntary contributions are fully exempt from tax. Income Tax Deduction for Contribution / Donation to Political Parties under Section 80GGC of Income Tax Act:
In computing the total income of an assessee, being any person, except local authority and every artificial juridical person wholly or partly funded by the Government, there shall be deducted any amount of contribution made by him, in the previous year, to a political party.
