Union minister and BJP's poll in-charge for Rajasthan Prakash Javadekar on Friday accused the Congress of running a campaign of misinformation through social media.

Addressing the working committee of Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Information Technology (IT) cell here, Javadekar said the Congress was "spreading lies" on social media and the party leaders were "misleading" people.

Congress is running a campaign of lies but people are well aware today and they have understood the lies of the party, Javadekar said.

The union minister asked the IT cell members to carry out detailed studies and dispel the claims made by the Congress by presenting facts and figures in front of the people.

He further said that the Congress and Pakistan both were "disturbed" by the Rafale issue.
