Amid all the political sparring, the bonhomie between the Prime Minister and Sam Pitroda, and the mutual praise, became a topic of discussion and speculation. PM Narendra Modi extends Diwali and Gujarati New Year wishes to Sam Pitroda and his wife after the Congress leader calls him a 'Gujarati friend' and praises his personal warmth. I have known Narendra-bhai for a long time - even before he became Prime Minister.
