Congress-Linked Website Redirects Youth to Online Casino and Betting Platform
A website originally created by the Congress party in 2021 to engage youth as 'Social Media Warriors' now redirects to an online casino and betting platform called YOLO247. The site offers various sports betting and casino games, with ownership details kept private. The domain was registered recently, raising questions about the party's association with the platform. The Congress party had aimed to reconnect with young voters after electoral losses, but the current redirection has drawn scrutiny.
