The allegations against the Narendra Modi app come at a time of the unfolding Facebook-Cambridge Analytica data breach storm.
Here are the live updates of the controversial story:
Those who do not know much about technology make such statements, says BJP on accusations by Congress over data breach.
.@RahulGandhi ji, even 'Chhota Bheem' knows that commonly asked permission on Apps don't tantamount to snooping.

Mr. @RahulGandhi, you are technically challenged & won't understand "this kind of stuff". Yet we'll explain:

1. Narendra Modi App is maintained by BJP. Hence it's NaMo App, not PMO App
2. But CM Siddu uses govt money to run 'Siddaramaiah App' & is abuse of office.

Rahul Gandhi gave a call to #DeleteNaMoApp, but Congress deleted its own App from the App store after they were called out. What is the Congress party hiding? pic.twitter.com/nAJTDAMmoc

Modi misusing PM position to build personal database with data on millions of Indians via the NaMo App promoted by Govt.
- Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) March 26, 2018
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.
Alderson, who initially pointed out that the application, popularly known as NaMo app in India, was sharing data with a third party without the consent of users, earlier on Sunday posted a new tweet saying the app had "quietly" updated its privacy policy after his previous tweets.
Modi's NaMo App secretly records audio, video, contacts of your friends & family and even tracks your location via GPS.

He's the Big Boss who likes to spy on Indians.
Now he wants data on our children. 13 lakh NCC cadets are being forced to download the APP.#DeleteNaMoApp
