Congress gaffe machine Sam Pitroda begins Delhi campaign by welcoming illegal migrants

India Today  

The debate over illegal migrants, a recurring theme in the BJP’s political arsenal, has gained fresh momentum with a controversial remark from Congress veteran and Rahul Gandhi’s close confidant Sam Pitroda. By suggesting that India should “include everybody” and share resources even if it means suffering “a little bit”, Pitroda has inadvertently bolstered the BJP’s longstanding narrative that the Congress enables illegal cross-border migration for political gains. The BJP, already campaigning aggressively on the issue of illegal immigration, seized upon Pitroda’s remarks as proof of the Congress’s “vote-bank politics”. Pitroda’s remarks not only allow the BJP to project the Congress as indifferent to national concerns but also risk alienating sections of the electorate who view illegal migration as a pressing issue.
