The Congress recently took their app ‘With INC’ off Google PlayStore and a cursory search for the same on the App Store also fails to show up any results for the Congress app as well.
The Congress took to Twitter to announce the same and they tweeted, “The WithINC app is a membership app & has not been in use for over 5 months since we moved membership to http://www.inc.in from 16th Nov 2017. The URL (http://membership.inc.in ) quoted by the media is the defunct URL from the app. The actual membership URL can be seen below. WithINC app was being used for Social Media updates alone since transitioning the membership to the website. This morning we were forced to remove the app from the Playstore as the wrong URL was being circulated & people were being misled.”
Congress social media in-charge Divya Spandana wrote on Twitter, “The URL for membership on the INC app has been defunct for a while now. Our membership is through the INC website. How difficult is that to understand.”
BJP's IT cell in-charge Amit Malviya had recently criticised Rahul Gandhi and said that his party's app that was sharing user data with his friends in Singapore.
Mocking Gandhi’s tweet, Malviya stated, “Hi! My name is Rahul Gandhi. I am the President of India's oldest political party. When you sign up for our official App, I give all your data to my friends in Singapore.”
He added, “Full marks to Congress for stating upfront that they'll give your data to **practically anyone** – undisclosed vendors, unknown volunteers, even 'groups with similar causes'. In theft of all forms, Congress has never been discreet!”
