Sonia Gandhi says limited contact with Modi, notes shared concerns
Former Congress leader Sonia Gandhi said in her memoir that she has had little direct contact with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, though she acknowledged that they share some concerns. She had earlier told The Hindu that the book, titled "Belonging: A Journey of Love," reflects on her life, political experiences and the state of Indian democracy. In the same interview she criticised the current government's impact on institutions, defended the Congress party and recounted her evolution from a young bride to a political figure.
The Guardian reported that she also reflected on the assassinations of Indira and Rajiv Gandhi and offered her assessment of Modi's administration. NDTV noted that the memoir will focus on her personal and family story rather than politics and is scheduled for release in India on November 10.
