Congress put up posters of the then Karnataka CM with \u201cPayCM\u201d as a key element. Now, the party is attempting to do the same in the run-up to assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh. This time it\u2019s <!-- -->PhonePe<!-- -->, which has been mentioned in the posters put by Congress. However, it seems that the company in question isn\u2019t too happy with the use of its name and has raised objections. <br \/>In a couple of tweets, PhonePe expressed its displeasure. \u201cPhonePe objects to the unauthorised usage of its brand logo, by any third party, be it political or non-political. We are not associated with any <!-- -->political campaign<!-- --> or party,\u201d said the company in a tweet. <\/p>\n<p>The posters that have been put up have the PhonePe logo. \u201cThe PhonePe logo is a registered trademark of our company and any unauthorized use of PhonePe\u2019s intellectual property rights will invite legal action,\u201d said PhonePe in a tweet. The company has requested the party to remove the posters. \u201cWe humbly request <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/INCMP?tag=times_of_india_web-21\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" data-ga=\"Click-Hyperlink|link_others-@INCMP-https:\/\/twitter.com\/INCMP?tag=times_of_india_web-21\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\">@INCMP<\/a> to remove the posters and banners featuring our brand logo and colour,\u201d said the company in a tweet. <br \/>On the Congress party\u2019s Twitter account, some of the posters were shared. So far the tweet with the posters has not been removed and it\u2019s not clear whether the party has removed the posters or not. <br \/>The posters were reportedly in response to a similar campaign being run by the <!-- -->Bharatiya Janata Party<!-- --> (BJP). The BJP had put posters against former chief minister <!-- -->Kamal Nath<!-- -->. <\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) \n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) \n        return;<\/p>\n<p>      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) \n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() \n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        ;\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      )(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    ;<\/p>\n<p>    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) \n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) \n        return;<\/p>\n<p>      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) \n        return;<\/p>\n<p>      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) \n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      )(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    ;<\/p>\n<p>    window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || ;\n    var TimesApps = window.TimesApps;\n    TimesApps.toiPlusEvents = function(config) \n      var isConfigAvailable = \"toiplus_site_settings\" in f && \"isFBCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings && \"isGoogleCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings;\n      var isPrimeUser = window.isPrime;\n      if (isConfigAvailable && !isPrimeUser) \n        loadGtagEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n        loadFBEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isFBCampaignActive);\n       else \n        var JarvisUrl=\"https:\/\/jarvis.indiatimes.com\/v1\/feeds\/toi_plus\/site_settings\/643526e21443833f0c454615?db_env=published\";\n        window.getFromClient(JarvisUrl, function(config)\n          if (config) \n            loadGtagEvents(config?.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n            loadFBEvents(config?.isFBCampaignActive);<\/p>\n<p>        )<\/p>\n<p>    ;\n  })(\n    window,\n    document,\n    'script',\n  );<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/gadgets-news\/phonepe-has-a-warning-for-congress-in-madhya-pradesh\/articleshow\/101362359.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] During the recently held elections in Karnataka, the Congress party quite successfully used the \u201cPayCM\u201d in its campaign.
