With the Amazon India’s ‘The Great Indian Festive Sale’ from October 13 to 17 enters third day, Thanthai Periyar Dravida Kazhagam (TPDK), a Tamil political party has demanded the government to take action against the company and stop their advertisements for excluding Tamil Nadu residents from the contest.
Winners of the contest, who shop for over Rs 299 on the Amazon app, wins one kilogram gold everyday, says the Amazon India website.
The online festive sale has kicked up a controversy for its eligibility criteria to participate in the event excludes residents of Tamil Nadu. Under the Official Rules published in the website, it reads that “NOTE: Residents of the state of Tamil Nadu are NOT eligible to enter or participate in this Contest.” Under the Eligibility Criteria too, the Amazon India repeats that residents of the state of Tamil Nadu are not eligible to enter or participate in the Contest.
