More revelations on ECI - BJP/Modi govt nexus

In 2019, just before the Lok Sabha Elections, a digital company named ADG Online was appointed by BOTH - the Election Commission of India as well as the Chief Electoral Officer, Delhi.

And it gets more murky as expected 👇
ADG Online has long been the agency of Modi govt for several ministries such as Ministry of Defense, National e-governance Division, etc.

In 2016, they were also empaneled by the National Informatics Centre (NIC) which handles all online services for Modi govt. ministries

(1/6)
According to ADG Online Founder Deepa Sayal's book, the agency even consulted the Election Commission of India on formulating policies on "data breach concerns like Cambridge Analytica".

Ironic that a company working with the ruling party BJP was consulted for this.

Now funnily - this is where the ADG Online founder Deepa Sayal's affinity lies. Her company worked on the elections & she wanted a "TsuNaMo".

Her co-founder Anuj Sayal had this picture as his profile after election results

Incidentally, the BJP connection doesn't end with the Modi govt.

ADG Online is also the agency appointed for UP CM Yogi Adityanath's branding.

They also handled the "Dipotsav" last year where 5 lakh lamps were lit in Ayodhya by the Yogi Govt.

It doesn't just end here.

After their "success" with the Lok Sabha elections & various Modi govt ministries, ADG Online founder has revealed that her company will "work on state elections for a major national party".

Guess which party?

- This is how deeply BJP proxies have infiltrated the Election Commission of India

- Why is the ECI hiring agencies that handle BJP accounts & election campaigning?

- Where is the proof that no data is being leaked?

Will @SpokespersonECI answer?

How Modi ruined years of hard work of UPA govt., capitulated to Japan, & risked lives of Indians:

After the Indo-US nuclear deal was signed by Dr. Manmohan Singh, many nations queued up to sign a deal with India.

Under Dr. Singh, the deals would be on India's terms.

Negotiations with Japan were ongoing. However, after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011, India decided to go slow.

Like most other countries, India under the UPA first banned food imports from Japan for fear of radiation & then began to scan products.

(2/6)
This process was implemented by most major countries.

The radioactive Cesium leaked in Fukushima has a half-life of 30 years. Importing food items without scanning would risk exposing Indians to possible nuclear radiation.

And then came Modi.

Breaking:

After the nexus between BJP & Electoral Officer Maharashtra, things have gotten quite bigger.

It's now clear that the Election Commission of India itself authorized Modi-govt bodies to appoint its social media agency for the Lok Sabha 2019 Elections.

Thread 👇
In 2019, the @SpokespersonECI appointed an agency called TDS Corporation for handling their social media for the Lok Sabha Elections 2019.

The agency was hired by ECI through the govt-run NFDC Ltd. & NOT independently.

(1/6)
Here's a screenshot from the official handle of @TSDCorp with employees celebrating the conclusion of the ECI Lok Sabha campaign.

They also put up a copy of the commendation letter issued by the Election Commission of India.

BJP-ECI nexus:

On 12 Oct, 2017, DGIPR under Fadnavis govt issued Govt Resolution no. मािज-2017/प्र.क्र.287 /34 empaneling social media companies

The scope of work related not just to standard social media posts but also data targeting & "neutralizing negative sentiments"

(1/5)
The empaneled companies included the one owned by BJP/BJYM's IT cell chief which was appointed by the DGIPR to handle social media for ECI in Maharashtra.

People's data was given to such companies by Fadnavis govt to ensure profiling, targeting, & muzzling the Opposition.

(2/5)
The Maharashtra Chief Electoral officer now claims in his report that the BJP/BJYM IT cell chief's company was appointed by the Fadnavis govt (through DGIPR) & not by him.

It is scary to imagine how much voter data went from ECI to the BJP & was deployed in the elections.
