Apolitical storm has erupted within the opposition camp after senior Congress leader Sam Pitroda publicly distanced himself from Rahul Gandhi’s explosive allegation that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is tapping his phone.According to sources, Pitroda dismissed the premise of the Prime Minister’s personal involvement in surveillance. “PM doesn’t do that. PM doesn’t take a screwdriver and get on a computer,” Pitroda said. However, he maintained that his own devices face intrusions, stating, “My phone is tapped, my laptop is attacked, my bank accounts are under surveillance,” adding that experts had cautioned him after examining his tech.The remarks follow Rahul Gandhi’s video statement on X claiming the PM monitors his communications and is aware of proof regarding foreign control stored on his device. Gandhi also challenged the Prime Minister to a face-to-face debate.The allegations have drawn sharp reactions from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Rejecting the claims as a stunt to stay relevant, former Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar hit back, remarking that Gandhi “needs to get his head examined” and questioning why anyone would care to monitor his daily routine.
