Rahul Gandhi has intensified his attack on the Prime Minister over the Narendra Modi app, which he had earlier alleged was sending data on its users to American companies.

Taking to Twitter again, Rahul Gandhi wrote:

Modi misusing PM position to build personal database with data on millions of Indians via the NaMo App promoted by Govt.

If as PM he wants to use tech to communicate with India, no problem. But use the official PMO APP for it. 

This data belongs to India, not Modi.

The latest attack comes mere hours after the Congress president wrote:

Charges of data breaches and theft have been traded between the Congress and the BJP ever since the Cambridge Analytica data theft scandal broke that showed that the company had illegally mined data of about 50 million people from Facebook in an effort to aid the Trump campaign during the 2016 US Presidential elections. Union Law and IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad had taken the Congress on, alleging that the party had hired Cambridge Analytica's website. Later, the Congress counter-alleged that the BJP was making use of such services.
