Madhya Pradesh Congress here on Monday alleged that the ruling BJP in Madhya Pradesh was misusing public money by hiring a private firm to run the latter's election campaign on social media.
While talking to media persons, Congress media cell chairperson Shobha Oza told that a Gujarat-based IT firm called Silver Touch Technology was hired by the BJP for this campaign and the firm was operating out of Narmada Bhawan, a government building here.
She said that the space from which this private firm was operating had actually been allotted to Madhya Pradesh Madhyam, a wing of the State government's Public Relations department. In support of the claim, the Congress leader presented details of the phone bill issued on the address.
"Gujarat-based IT company Silver Touch Technology is not only working to brighten the image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other ministers in addition to that of MP Chief Minister Shivraj Singh, but is also maligning the image of the Congress. MP government has hired this company," Oza told.
