Indian Overseas Congress chairman Sam Pitroda again strirred a row with his remarks over skin colour, prompting a sharp reaction from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who campaigned in Telangana today. Meanwhile, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra campaigned for her brother Rahul Gandhi in Raebareli. Priyanka charged that the BJP had a nexus with industrialists and waived their loans worth Rs 16 lakh crore. The BJD continued to take potshots at the BJP, with Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik's close aide VK Pandian alleging that the BJP's intention was to break the Odisha party after elections. This, and more, in today's election wrap.
