Sam Pitroda, who is acting as a guide for Rahul Gandhi during his foreign trip, has been targeted by the BJP.:

News Topical, Digital Desk : Senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram had said in a recent interview that Sam Pitroda does not guide Rahul Gandhi on foreign policy matters, but Pitroda's presence with Rahul during his visit to Bogota, the capital of Colombia, refutes Chidambaram's claim.

Sam Pitroda is frequently seen with Rahul Gandhi.

Analysts believe that Pitroda's presence is not limited to just posing for photographs but, it indicates his role as a close guide and advisor to Rahul Gandhi during this foreign trip.

Pitroda is the president of the Indian Overseas Congress.

Rahul Gandhi is currently on a tour of South America, interacting with political leaders, university students, and the business community in four countries. Pitroda, 90, is president of the Indian Overseas Congress. He has organized several important foreign trips for Rahul Gandhi, including visits to the United States and Europe.

BJP took aim

BJP leaders say Pitroda's views reflect the broader ideological direction of the Congress party. They argue that Pitroda influences Rahul Gandhi's ideology, which is why the opposition leader's statements discredit India on the global stage.
