Sam Pitroda has been reappointed chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress, the party announced on Wednesday. Pitroda had resigned in May after remarks on inheritance tax and India's diversity sparked political controversy during the Lok Sabha elections. His statements, which suggested an inheritance tax and described India's regional diversity in controversial terms, drew strong criticism from the BJP, including Prime Minister Modi. Despite the fallout, Pitroda's return comes as the Congress looks to build on its improved tally of 99 seats, with the INDIA alliance securing 232 seats in the recent elections.
