BJP Criticises Sonia Gandhi’s Book..Here’s How She Responded?

Ahead of the release of her autobiography Belonging: A Journey of Love, senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi has clarified that the book is not intended to serve any political purpose. Describing it as a deeply personal account, she said she wanted to portray her family honestly and share her own experiences with readers. The 544-page autobiography is scheduled for worldwide release on November 10. In an article published in the English daily The Hindu, Sonia explained the reasons behind writing the book. She noted that many people have written about her family, but only a few have explored the personalities, motivations, struggles and human imperfections of its members in depth. She said her intention was to present an honest account of the family she loves.

Sonia Gandhi also said that she wanted to share with readers the India she has observed over the past five decades. In Belonging: A Journey of Love, she has written about her personal journey and the places she considers home. The book is being published by HarperCollins India. Meanwhile, the autobiography has drawn political reactions, with the BJP alleging that it contains more political criticism than personal reflections. The party has questioned the extent of political content in the book. Against this backdrop, Sonia has reiterated that the autobiography is primarily a personal account rather than a political statement.
