New Delhi: The Janata Dal United on Wednesday rejected allegations that it had used caste analysis provided by Cambridge Analytica, the firm accused of data breach, saying the party does not believe in using such means for electoral politics.

The party's reaction came after Christopher Wylie, who blew the lid off the alleged scam involving mining of Facebook user data to manipulate elections, on Wednesday tweeted details that claim to expose the British consultancy's work in India dating back to 2003.

"I've been getting a lot of requests from Indian journalists, so here are some of SCL's past projects in India. To the most frequently asked question - yes SCL/CA works in India and has offices there. This is what modern colonialism looks like," Wylie tweeted.

Wylie, 28, has claimed that SCL India (formerly Strategic Communication Laboratories, the parent company of Cambridge Analytica) was asked to provide electoral research and strategy for the 2010 Bihar elections for the JDU.

JDU leader K.C. Tyagi rejected the allegation.

"I have said this in the past. I repeat again that the JDU does not believe in such means," he said. "We fight elections the way it should be contested." PTI
