Cambridge Analytica row: Congress, BJP in war of words over hiring firm

Ovleno's Vice-President Himanshu Sharma said his company was not denying association with CA

For a second day in succession, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress accused each other of hiring data mining company Cambridge Analytica (CA). It is under probe for allegedly using data of millions of Facebook users, without their consent, for influencing the US presidential election.
 
The Congress demanded the BJP clarify whether Ovleno Business Intelligence (OBI), the Indian associate of CA, provided services to them.
 
OBI said it was “shocked and surprised” at the controversy about data breach, and that it was looking to end its association with CA. OBI's website was suspended on Wednesday.
