    The 49-page-report titled 'Data Driven Campaign: The Path to the 2019 Lok Sabha', was allegedly developed in August 2017.

    According to the report, CA promised Congress data mining, national situational analysis, data-driven campaign, strategic communication review, media monitoring and planning etc.

    Poonawalla alleged the services' cost was undervalued at Rs. 200-300 crore on paper, and real expense couldn't be accounted for.

  • Poonawalla said, "One could see the remarkable difference in social media strategy and campaign of Rahul Gandhi and Congress which was very dry until then. Everyone could see the sudden spurt in Congress social media presence once Cambridge Analytica got a go-ahead from Congress Party."

    Other reports claim Congress never signed the deal
    Credits:
  • Alexander Nix, reportedly, met Rahul Gandhi, and former union ministers Jairam Ramesh and P Chidambaram.

    An NDTV report states leaders of the party confirm the meeting happened but Congress didn't ink the paper.

    Head of Congress's Data Analytics Department, Praveen Chakravarthy said, "Just being the recipient of a commercial proposal does not automatically imply a contractual engagement between the party and the vendor."

    Congress leaders deny taking help from Cambridge Analytica

  • "It is plain and simple - the party has not worked with the said firm. As regards receiving proposals, the Congress party, by virtue of its standing as a strong national party, receives many proposals from many firms regularly, pitching their services," Chakravarthy said.
