The AICC released a statement that stated that the Congress President has reappointed Sam Pitroda to the position with immediate effect.

Earlier this year in May, Pitroda resigned from his position amid controversies surrounding his remarks about the appearance of Indians. Following this, the grand old party distanced itself from Pitroda’s comments.
