Which was clearly and declared to be associated with the then ruling party of the state.

The task of the Election Commission was to keep a close watch on the social media handles and pages of political parties. But the social media handles, websites, pages and data of the commission itself were pledged to the business officials of a particular political party. After being shown by putting a finger in the eyes of the Commission, the movement for investigation of the case has intensified.

However, the shocking revelation is that the company and the person who was given the task of monitoring the Election Commission’s Jan Jagran campaign on social media and the entire electoral mission, has also been the convenor of the BJP’s youth wing BJYM, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha’s IT cell. . The name is Devang Dave and his company is Social Central Media Solution LLP.

Commission will have to answer

The Election Commission had also written the same address on its social media handle and page which was of that company and person. Social Central Media’s client list also includes BJP and the office of the Chief Electoral Officer of Maharashtra itself.

The office of the Chief Electoral Officer must also make it clear that the address 202 on his website, media handle, page, advertisement on him, Press Man House, Nehru Road, Vile Parle East, Mumbai. That is, why is the same company that looks at the social networking of BJP as well as the Commission!

Former journalist raised question

This question has been raised in a Twitter thread by Saket Gokhale, a former journalist and RTI activist and also a supporter of the Congress Party. In a Twitter thread posted on Thursday evening, Gokhale mentioned that while looking at some advertisements of the Chief Electoral Officer of Maharashtra, it was noted that the address contained the address of an office in Vile Parle, Mumbai.

He said, ‘The address was 202 Pressman House, Vile Parle, Mumbai. I decided to find out whose address it was. It turned out to be an advertising company called Signpost India, a government-run agency under the BJP government led by Devendra Fadnavis.

He further added in another tweet, ‘But wait – this is not half the story. The 202 Pressman House address was also used by a digital agency called Social Central. This agency is with Devang Dave, who is the national convener of IT and social media of BJP youth wing, BJYM.

Devang Dave termed the allegation as baseless

On these allegations, Devang Dave says that completely baseless allegations have been made to tarnish my reputation because I come from very humble lower middle class background. My family had no political background. Some people are burning and targeting me as I see them moving forward. I will take legal action.

Meanwhile, there has been no response from the BJP on the allegations made by Saket Gokhale.
