Party should explain how it got the individual details of voters, says Rao
The Congress has demanded the derecognition of the BJP Puducherry unit and the disqualification of its candidates in light of the observations made by the Madras High Court while hearing a petition against the BJP for misusing Aadhaar details, including the phone numbers, of voters. Addressing a joint press conference here, former Chief Minister V. Narayanasamy and Congress general secretary Dinesh Gundu Rao said the High Court had taken a serious note of the complaints filed before it against the misuse of Aadhaar details. “We will be filing a complaint before the Election Commission of India demanding the derecognition of the Puducherry unit of the BJP and the candidates for the Assembly election in the Union Territory. Getting Aadhaar details, including phone numbers, of individuals is a serious offence and amounts to breach of privacy,” Mr. Rao said.
