Former BRS Leader Questions Telangana Movement Omission in Sonia Gandhi's Memoir
Former BRS MP Vinod Kumar Boinapalli expressed surprise over the absence of any mention of the Telangana statehood movement in Sonia Gandhi's memoir, 'Belonging: A Journey of Love'. He highlighted Gandhi's significant role as Congress president and UPA chairperson in supporting the prolonged movement, which involved protests and sacrifices, including over 1,200 student and activist deaths. Kumar noted the omission was unexpected given the movement's importance in Telangana's political history, while the reasons for this exclusion remain known only to Gandhi.
