Center Owned by Express Publications (Madurai) Ltd.'Gave up PM's post to become super PM': BJP's swipe at Sonia Gandhi over her memoir
What's behind this
Sam Pitroda, chief of the Indian Overseas Congress, defended Sonia Gandhi’s memoir “Belonging: A Journey of Love” after the BJP criticised it, asserting that an author has the right to tell her own story. The BJP, through spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi at a press conference in its headquarters, accused Gandhi of making a “super sacrifice” by forgoing the prime‑ministership only to become a “super PM”. Leaders of the BJP and Shiv Sena also questioned her account of historical events, while Gandhi herself wrote that the “ground has shifted” under the Modi government and that the regime is not here to stay.
