Addressing a press conference, Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera said, "UC Web Mobile got banned in July this year. According to the expenditure report submitted by the BJP to the Election Commission, they (the BJP) hired this company in 2019 to run their campaign. It is the same Alibaba- owned company, which was also red flagged by the Modi government in 2017 for sending crucial data of Indians to China."

Last month, the government banned it, saying the company was directly connected with the PLA (People's Liberation Army)," Khera alleged.

The Congress spokesperson further went on to say that ShareIT Technology, whose ShareIT app was banned last month, was also hired by the BJP during the general elections.

"We wish to ask some direct questions to the Prime Minister. Why did your party take the help of China in the Lok Sabha elections? In doing so, why did you give away vital data of Indian citizens to China?" he asked.
