Amid the uproar over Sam Pitroda's purportedly racist remarks, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted that Congress attempted to defeat Droupadi Murmu's presidential bid on the grounds of her skin colour. In a fiery address in Warangal, Telangana, on May 8, PM Modi stated, "I was thinking about why Congress is trying so hard to defeat Droupadi Murmu, who comes from an Adiwasi family with a good reputation. Today, I got to know the reason." PM Modi referenced Sam Pitroda's controversial remarks, alleging that Pitroda's comments reflect Congress's underlying biases. He further condemned the notion that skin colour determines nationality, calling it an insult to the nation's diverse populace. Sam Pitroda Stokes Another Controversy With 'Racist' Remarks, Says 'People in East Look Like Chinese, in South Look Like Africans' (Watch Video).
