Union Minister for communications, Electronic & Information Technology Ravi Shankar Prasad on Sunday replied to allegations made by Rahul Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi alleged that BJP is using social media to spread fake news.
Rahul Gandhi in his twitter said,” BJP & RSS control Facebook @ Whatsapp in India. They spread fake news and hatred through it and use it to influence the electorate. Finally, the American media has come out with the truth about Facebook,”.
Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad replied in his tweet, ” Losers who cannot influence people even in their own party keep cribbing that the entire world is controlled by BJP & RSS. You are caught red-handed in alliance with Analytica & Facebook to weaponise data before the election & now have the gall to question us ?”
And in another tweet he said,” The fact is that today access to information and freedom of expression has been democratized. It is no longer controlled by retainers of your family and that is why it hurts. Btw, haven’t yet heard your condemnation of the Bangalore riots. Where did your courage disappear?”
