Pitroda says Diwali wishes to Modi are personal, not political
Congress leader Sam Pitroda said his Diwali greetings to Prime Minister Narendra Modi were a personal gesture and should not be linked to Congress politics, NDTV reported from Gujarat, India. He emphasized the wishes were meant to convey a joyful and healthy year ahead.
Earlier, Modi had replied with his own Diwali wishes after former adviser Sam Pitroda highlighted their personal rapport, describing the prime minister as a "very loving Gujarati friend." The exchange took place amid remarks on ideological differences referenced in Sonia Gandhi's memoir.
