Indian Overseas Congress chief Sam Pitroda has once again sparked a controversy after he claimed that India has created “raw" talent to serve others. While commenting about India’s technology ecosystem, he said that it is “a shame that a country with 1.5 billion people does not have its own operating system."

The comments drew sharp criticism from the BJP, which accused him of “bashing Bharat."

In an interview with a YouTube channel, the senior Congress leader said that New Delhi has created a large base of “raw" young talent but failed to leverage it for domestic innovation.

“We created a lot of young talent, but it is raw. It ultimately helped multinationals worldwide in their programming, banking, legal systems, industry, manufacturing, and logistics," he said.

He further said that India had not built global-scale technology products of its own and the talent has been used to serve others.

“Neither have we created our own social media platform, nor have we started a big company like Microsoft. We have not even developed our own operating system. It is a shame that a country with 1.5 billion people does not have its own operating system. We could not even build an operating system for mobile phones. We have really used our talent to serve others," Pitroda remarked.

The saffron party was quick to react, was quick to react, with party spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla launching a scathing attack on the Congress leader, saying that the chief advisor of ‘Lashkar E Congress’ once again “mocked Bharat with lies."

“So after the TOPLESS act by Congress now comes chief advisor of ‘Lashkar E Congress’ — Sam Pitroda. Once again on agenda of bashing Bharat. Uncle Sam mocks Bharat with lies. Says shame on India they haven’t developed even OS for mobiles," Poonawalla said in a post on X.
