The Economic Times report refers to a documentary released last year by journalist and tech blogger Jamie Bartlett which shows the scribe meeting Cambridge Analytica’s now-suspended CEO Alexander Nix in his London office.

” As Bartlett enters Nix’s room, he stands up and greets him. Right behind Nix, on the wall, is a poster showing the ‘hand’ symbol of the Congress party. Below the hand is written “Congress” in bold letters. The poster carries the slogan ‘Development for all’,” the ET report said.
Cambridge Analytica has been accused of stealing Facebook data to influence elections in different parts of the world including the 2016 US presidential polls.
On Monday, Cambridge Analytica whistleblower Christopher Wylie claimed that the controversial data analytics firm “worked extensively” in India, and named Congress as its client while testifying before the UK Parliament.
On Wednesday, Wylie tweeted details that claim to expose the British consultancy’s work in India dating back to 2003.
