Sam Pitroda now compares Rahul Gandhi with former Prime Minister, calls him a great strategist

New Delhi: Indian Overseas Congress President Sam Pitroda makes such statements during election season that become a topic of discussion. Just before the Lok Sabha elections, Pitroda made such a statement that was criticized all around. The Congress party distanced itself from his statement. Now that the assembly elections in Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir have been announced and the election campaign is in full swing, Sam Pitroda has once again said something big. This time he has compared Rahul Gandhi with his late father Rajiv Gandhi. Pitroda has described Rahul as more intellectual and a better strategist than Rajiv Gandhi.

Sam Pitroda, who has been loyal to the Gandhi family for a long time, has described former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and his son Rahul Gandhi as the custodians of the ‘Idea of ​​India’. He said that Rahul Gandhi is more intelligent than his father Rajiv Gandhi and he is also better than him in terms of strategy making. Sam Pitroda stressed that Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha, has all the qualities to become the Prime Minister. Pitroda, the president of the Indian Overseas Congress, rejected the BJP’s allegations that Rahul had made comments critical of the Indian government during his previous foreign visits, calling them false.

When asked about the similarities and differences between Rajiv Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, Sam Pitroda said that he has worked with many Prime Ministers including Rajiv Gandhi, PV Narasimha Rao, Manmohan Singh, VP Singh, Chandrashekhar and HD Deve Gowda. He said, ‘I got the opportunity to work very closely with many Prime Ministers, but the difference between Rahul and Rajiv is probably that Rahul is much more intelligent and a better strategist. Rajiv Gandhi believed more in work. Both have the same DNA. Their concerns and feelings for the people are also the same. They truly believe in making a better India for all. He has no big personal ambitions.’

Regarding Rahul’s proposed visit to the US next week, Pitroda said that he is not coming on an official visit to the US, but during this time he will get a chance to talk to various people at Capitol Hill on a personal level. Pitroda further said that Rahul Gandhi will meet people from think tanks and will also address Georgetown University. Rahul will visit the US for the first time after assuming the post of Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha. He will be in the US from 8 to 10 September, during which he will hold several important meetings in Washington DC and Dallas along with interacting at Georgetown University and Texas University.
