Big exposé How BJP is using proxy pages to run political ads worth CRORES targeting the Opposition & Facebook & ECI are openly allowing them. Political advertising on social media has strict rules. However, this is how BJP is bypassing these rules using proxies 👇 (1/8)

ECI rules require political parties to disclose expenditure on political ads. Also FB has rules around political ads & requires "transparency" on the sponsor. But BJP is funding several proxy pages to run ads targeting the Opposition & spending CRORES Here's examples... (2/8)

These are ONLY 3 examples from hundreds of pro-BJP proxy pages. Just 3 pages with about 15,000 followers have spent OVER ₹4 CRORES in just last 3 months on pro-BJP ads targeting the Opposition. It is CRYSTAL CLEAR that the money is coming from the BJP (6/8)

None of these ad spends will ever show in BJP's election expenditure report - because these are "unofficial" through proxy pages. BJP is spending crores in secret ways to these page operators for running ads for Lok Sabha elections. How is this payment being done? CASH? (7/8)

Question is - Why is Election Commission turning a blind eye & allowing this? Why is Facebook not stopping violation of political advertising rules by BJP using proxy pages? BJP is manipulating the Lok Sabha elections openly using crores it got from electoral bonds. (8/8)
