US Republican Party denies it's outsourcing to India

THE US REPUBLICAN PARTY -- which has an elephant as its symbol - is denying an Indian financial newspaper's claim that it's outsourcing fund raising to the subcontinent.

The Republican National Committee, according to worldnetdaily.com has described a story in the Delhi Business Standard as a "pernicious rumor" and also claimed representatives of the other party with a quadruped icon were "gobbling up" and "running with" the story on its campaign trail.

The prestigious Delhi newspaper had claimed people in call centres in Gurgaon and Noida were phoning folks in the USA to enlist their support for the Republicans.

But, said worldnetdaily.com, quoting a Republican representative, that's not true.

The US version of democracy requires that political parties there submit reports to an auditing committee and there are no records of funds going India's way.

However, the Republican rep said that "some other" Republican entity or "conservative organization" might be using Indian call centres.

The Republican National Committee put its lawyers on the case and asked the Business Standard to purge the story from its archives. But Indian hacks have behaved like refuseniks and will not down the story, said Worldnetdaily. µ
