🚨 I’m thrilled to share an in-depth article on the #Maharashtra #elections, focusing on the role of proxy pages in political landscape. Political parties are increasingly leaning on these pages across platforms like #Meta to sidestep official affiliations, raising transparency concerns as these unaffiliated pages shape voter perceptions without clear accountability. In insightful conversations with industry experts—Zefmo Co-founder and CEO Shudeep Majumdar, and Anup Sharma, a political adviser for the Maharashtra elections—I explored how precise micro-targeting and digital outreach are reshaping electoral campaigns. Shudeep noted a significant surge in digital spending, placing Maharashtra at the forefront of India’s digital campaign landscape, while Anup offered insights into how these proxy pages operate within India’s political system. #MetaAdLibrary data from last week highlights the substantial investments by Maharashtra’s leading political parties, along with an increasing presence of proxy pages. For example, the BJP Maharashtra page led with Rs 8.61 lakh in ad spend, while proxy pages like “Lekha Jokha Maharashtracha” invested Rs 3.6 lakh, contributing to a notable rise in digital ad investments this election season.
