Congress president Rahul Gandhi hit back at BJP yet again on Cambridge Analytica allegations. 

A day after he said that the government ''invented story'' on Congress and ''data theft'' to divert attention from the 39 Indians who were slaughtered by the  ISIS in Iraq's Mosul, the Gandhi scion fired yet another salvo at the BJP.  This time he accused the BJP of paying Cambridge Analytica to ''infiltrate and sabotage'' the Congress in 2012.

Rahul Gandhi quoted a story from a website which stated Alexander Nix, the disgraced CEO of the UK-based data gathering firm may have plotted to defeat the Congress party ahead of India's 2014 parliamentary elections. 

Since the data scandal involving Cambridge Analytica came to light both Congress and BJP have been accusing each other of using the data mining service company's service to win elections.
