Sam Pitroda

Congress leader Sam Pitroda recently defended Rahul Gandhi, addressing the common criticism of Gandhi being labeled as "Pappu." Pitroda emphasized that Gandhi is a well-educated strategist with a vision distinct from the BJP's narrative, which spends large sums on promoting its agenda. Speaking to the Indian diaspora in Texas, where Gandhi is currently visiting, Pitroda stressed that Rahul Gandhi is focused on addressing significant issues like inclusion and diversity.

Pitroda shared how Gandhian values shaped his own education, noting that these principles, which promote diversity and inclusion, are central to Gandhi’s political vision. According to Pitroda, Rahul Gandhi's agenda is centered on celebrating diversity and fostering inclusiveness, ideals that are increasingly under threat.

Additionally, Pitroda was recently reappointed as Chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress, a role he previously resigned from following a controversy during the Lok Sabha elections. Pitroda’s earlier comments about the physical appearances of Indians from different regions led to criticism from the BJP, which labeled his remarks as “racist,” prompting his temporary resignation. Despite this, Pitroda remains a key figure in Rahul Gandhi's inner circle, continuing to advocate for Gandhi’s leadership and values.
