BJP books 'Donate for Desh' domain before Congress; gets traffic to own page

In a trivial turn of events, the Indian National Congress' (INC) 'Donate for Desh' domain was not booked by the party, instead the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has booked it first and driven the traffic to its page.

However, the Congress is now going with a new domain 'donate.inc'.

The URL that visitors use to reach your website on the internet is called a domain name. It is, for example, a house's street address on web.


The Kharge-led party's new campaign looks to crowdfund for the party ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.


The campaign aims at "empowering the party to create an India rich in equal resource distribution and opportunities".

Speaking about the campaign, Kharge said that this is the first time that Congress is asking people for donations and cited Mahatma Gandhi, who also took donations from the public during the freedom struggle.

"It's the first time that Congress is asking people for donations for the nation... If you work only by depending on the rich people, then you have to follow their policies. Mahatma Gandhi also took donations from the public during the freedom struggle," said Kharge.

Marking 138 years of the Congress party's existence, Kharge donated Rs 1 lakh 38 thousand, at the launch of the campaign.
