TRAI on Monday said it did not receive any application that pertained to sending SMS to a political party’s Maharashtra cadre on how the 2024 Assembly election was allegedly ‘stolen’, as the regulator asserted that it doesn’t even approve individual SMS templates.
TRAI’s rebuttal came after Congress on Sunday claimed that the TRAI rejected its application for sending out SMSes to its Maharashtra cadre with the link of a documentary on how Maharashtra assembly elections were allegedly “stolen” on the grounds that it is “content related to protest”.
