These included information about the departments of the central government that were engaged in social media campaign of the four schemes, if any government or private advertisement/event management companies were engaged, and if any bidding mechanism was adopted for issuing advertisements on social media. Sisodia asked Misra to provide the information with the necessary documents. Denying the CBI’s claims, officials said the company was hired after issuing tenders as no government arm was equipped to deal with a social media campaign.
