Sonia Gandhi's Memoir Details Political Journey, Modi Interactions, and 2004 PM Decision
Sonia Gandhi's memoir, 'Belonging: A Journey of Love,' offers a personal account of her life, political journey, and family tragedies, including the assassinations of Indira and Rajiv Gandhi. She reveals limited personal contact with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, describing their interactions as formal and marked by ideological differences. Gandhi recounts her decision to decline the 2004 prime ministership, choosing Manmohan Singh instead, and reflects on her son Rahul Gandhi's political struggles. The memoir has sparked criticism from BJP, which accuses her of whitewashing Congress's past.
