PM Modi cannot be bigger than Gandhi, Nehru and Ambedkar: CJP's Abhijeet Dipke in Kochi

What's behind this

Sonia Gandhi, the 79‑year‑old Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson, said the Emergency was a mistake and that her mother‑in‑law, then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, eventually came to share that view. She argued that Congress had been too complacent and adopted a laissez‑faire attitude toward the BJP, and that keeping Sanjay Gandhi in check during the Emergency could have prevented much of the damage that followed. In her upcoming book “Belonging: A Journey of Love”, she recalled pleading with Rajiv Gandhi after Indira’s assassination, fearing he would become a target if he became prime minister.
