BJP Slams Sonia Gandhi’s Book 'Belonging': Great Sacrifice or Political Compulsion? | Capital TV
The political controversy surrounding Sonia Gandhi's memoir 'Belonging' has escalated sharply. National Democratic Alliance leaders have strongly rejected her claim of voluntarily sacrificing the Prime Minister's post in 2004, terming it a strategic cover-up of her political compulsions. According to critics, her decision to step down was actually driven by opposition from political leaders like Mulayam Singh Yadav and constitutional concerns raised by then-President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam regarding her foreign origin. Additionally, the Bharatiya Janata Party criticized the 544-page book for focusing on casual anecdotes about international leaders rather than addressing major corruption scandals from the UPA era. The ongoing debate highlights deep political divisions over historical events and leadership narratives.
