Sam Pitroda steps down as Indian Overseas Congress chief after controversial racist remarks

Congress leader Sam Pitroda has resigned from his position as Chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress, with his resignation being accepted by the party. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh announced Pitroda's decision to step down "of his own accord." Pitroda faced criticism for his controversial remark suggesting that Indians in the East resemble the Chinese, while those in the South look like Africans. The Congress swiftly distanced itself from Pitroda's remarks, labelling them "unacceptable." #SamPitrodaResigns #SamPitroda #SamPitrodaControversy #SamPitrodaCongress #CongressvsBJP #SamPitrodaRacistComment #SamPitrodaControversialRemark #SamPitrodaOversees #CongressUnitedStates #OneindiaNews ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.194~

On Chairman of Indian Overseas Congress Sam Pitroda's controversy, PM Modi says,"...A close aide of Congress and biggest adviser of 'Prince' (Rahul Gandhi), what he said is very shameful. Congress feels that people of Northeast look like Chinese, can a country accept such things? Congress feels that the people of South India look like Africans. I want to ask the Congress Chief Ministers of Karnataka and Telangana, can they accept such opinions? I want to ask the Tamil Nadu CM who keeps talking about Tamil Nadu culture, such a big allegation has been made, will DMK break alliance with Congress for the self-respect of Tamil, does he have the guts for that?... Congress feels people of the West look like Arabs, I want to ask the 'fake Shiv Sena chief', remember about Balasaheb Thackeray...will Maharashtra people accept it?...Congress is now making racist statements..."

Mayawati Drops Hammer: Akash Anand Stripped Of BSP Succession, Uttar Pradesh Reacts

In Uttar Pradesh, the BJP-led NDA alliance faces the formidable INDIA Alliance. The once-dominant BSP, notably absent, has made headlines with Mayawati removing her nephew, Akash Anand, as her successor due to his lack of political maturity. Despite a shrinking voter base, BSP still holds influence. Akash's rise and subsequent removal reveal internal rifts, possibly stemming from BSP's tacit support for BJP. His removal signals a shift in BSP's approach, surprising many. #UttarPradesh #INDIAAlliance #BJPLedNDA #BSP #Mayawati #AkashAnand #Politics #Oneindia #Oneindianews ~HT.178~ED.103~GR.125~
