Sonia Gandhi's Memoir Highlights Limited Contact with Modi and Sparks BJP Criticism
Sonia Gandhi's memoir 'Belonging: A Journey of Love' reveals minimal personal interaction with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, describing their exchanges as formal and distant. She frames their political rivalry as a clash of visions rather than personal animosity, while acknowledging some shared experiences of discomfort with elite political circles. The BJP criticized the memoir for allegedly whitewashing Congress's past, including contentious events like the Emergency and 1984 riots. Gandhi also reflects on her decision not to become Prime Minister in 2004, highlighting family concerns about safety amid political violence.
