Congress launched the Donate for the Country campaign on Monday with the intention of raising funds for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, but within an hour of launching the campaign, the game was over.
In fact, as soon as you clicked on the link of the campaign (Donate for the country) launched by Congress, the link to BJP’s donation page started opening.
That means, if you click on donatefordesh.org to donate to Congress, BJP’s donation page will open.
It is believed that this happened because Congress could not book its domain before launching the campaign but BJP got it registered immediately.
What happened was that it became easy to reach BJP’s site by clicking on donatefordesh.org.
Another similar domain is onatefordesh.com, which was registered two days ago i.e. on 16th December by a news website named opindia.
In such a situation, Congress has now shared a new link so that the donors do not get confused and the amount of their donation can reach the Congress account.
Congress leader Ajay Maken later clarified the situation and said that there is a link for this campaign of Congress, by clicking on which donors can donate.
Meanwhile, the Congress has accused the BJP of “copying” it and “creating fake domains to mislead people”. Congress leader and chairperson of the party’s social media and digital platforms Supriya Shrinet said the BJP is “in a state of panic” after the grand old party launched its donation campaign.
He wrote on social media X, “Why is BJP so scared despite having autocratic power, all institutions, all resources and maximum money? When Congress started the donation campaign, not only did they (BJP) panic but their system also started creating fake domains and confusing them. By the way .” By the way, thanks for copying us – it’s good to see your fear.”
Let us tell you that Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge launched this campaign in a program in New Delhi on Monday. He himself has contributed Rs 1.38 lakh.
On the occasion of completion of 138 years of the establishment of Congress, the party has appealed to the people to donate in the form of 138, 1380, 13800, 1,38,000 or in multiples of 138.
Congress is running this campaign through its website and an app. Kharge said that through the ‘Donate for the country’ campaign, Congress will work to take the country forward by taking help from the general public.
He said, “Today is a happy day that our leaders have together prepared an app. Congress has always got the help of the general public.
Mahatma Gandhi had also given independence to the country by taking the help of the countrymen…This campaign is becoming a campaign in the entire country, in which people are coming forward and donating for the country.” Kharge said, “If you keep working only by trusting the rich, then in future you will have to accept their programs and policies.” He said that Congress is the only party in the country which is with the poor.
She later said in a post on “
The country’s main opposition party is appealing to people through this campaign to donate Rs 138, Rs 1,380, Rs 13,800 or 10 times that amount before its 138th foundation day on December 28.
Congress organization general secretary KC Venugopal had told reporters last Saturday, “This campaign will mainly be online till the party’s foundation day, December 28, after which we will start the ground campaign. “Under this, volunteers associated with the party will go door-to-door and target at least 10 houses in each booth and ensure a contribution of at least Rs 138 from each house.”
