Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala addressed a press conference soon after union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad’s remarks of Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s association with a company named Cambridge Analytica.

Surjewala dismissed the claim made by Prasad on Gandhi’s connection with Cambridge Analytica

“Indian National Congress or the Congress President has never used or never hired the services of a company called Cambridge Analytica. It is a fake agenda and white lie being dished out by Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad,” said Surjewala.

Calling the allegations by Prasad’s comment another ‘fake product’ from the BJP’s factory of fake news, Surjewala slammed BJP for its baseless allegations.

“BJP's factory of fake news has produced one more fake product today. It appears fake statements, fake press conferences & fake agendas have become an everyday character of BJP and its 'Lawless' Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad,” said Surjewala. 

Further, he targeted BJP for the latter’s connection with the mentioned firm and cited proof of the same on the company’s website.

“Cambridge Analytica's linked website shows that in 2010 its services were used by BJP-JD(U). Firm's Indian partner Ovlene Business Intelligence (OBI) is being run by BJP ally's MP's son. OBI company's services were used by Rajnath Singh in 2009,” said Surjewala.

Earlier in the day, Prasad had accused Congress of leaking data to the company.
