Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has asked Department of Electronics and IT Secretary (Deity) Aruna Sharma to look into the scheme of Ringing Bells offering a smartphone for just Rs251.
This has come in response to a letter from BJP MP Kirit Somaiya. “The Minister has received a representation from Kirit Somaiya and mobile phone manufacturers where they have expressed doubt about the veracity of this venture,” a Telecom Ministry source told PTI. He added that the Minister has asked the Deity secretary to go into the whole issue.
