TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ The BJP today described Rahul Gandhi’s accusation of “data theft” against Prime Minister Narendra Modi as “a classic case of technological illiteracy” and said the Congress president was rattled after his plan to influence the next Lok Sabha election with the help of Cambridge Analytica was “exposed”.
A host of BJP leaders reacted with sarcasm and strong criticism following the Congress president’s attack on Modi, with Union minister Smriti Irani mocking Gandhi, saying that even ‘Chhota Bheem’, a cartoon character, knows that commonly asked permission on Apps does not “tantamount to snooping”.
In a tweet, Gandhi had dubbed Modi “the Big Boss who likes to spy on Indians” and alleged that his “NaMo App secretly records audio, video, contacts of your friends & family and even tracks users’ location via GPS”. At a press conference, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra lashed out at him, saying such kind of technological illiteracy has rarely been seen in Indian politics.
Taking a dig, he said Gandhi would tweet tomorrow that Modi and BJP are connected to electronic voting machines through the NaMo app and they have been winning election after election because they have hacked it. His allegations, Patra said, are a classic case of technological illiteracy.
