Sonia Gandhi's Memoir Details UPA Power Division and Pranab Mukherjee's PM Hint
Sonia Gandhi's memoir 'Belonging: A Journey of Love' reveals a clear division of power during the UPA era, with Manmohan Singh running the government and Gandhi leading the party. She recounts a 2010 conversation where Pranab Mukherjee hinted at his prime ministerial ambitions amid differences with Finance Minister P Chidambaram. Gandhi denies allegations of accessing government files and shares that she and her children decided she would not become Prime Minister due to safety concerns before the 2004 elections.
