Shiv Sena attacks Sonia Gandhi book, says public trusts PM Modi

Mumbai. Political statements in Maharashtra have intensified over Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi’s new book, “Belonging: A Journey of Love”. Shiv Sena has reacted sharply to comments made in the book about the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Party leaders questioned Sonia Gandhi’s views and said the people of the country have faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Shaina NC raises questions

Shiv Sena leader Shaina NC criticised the views expressed in Sonia Gandhi’s book and said political leadership is identified not merely through books and emotional remarks, but through work. Referring to issues such as the Ram Temple, Article 370 and women’s reservation, she questioned the Congress’s earlier position. Shaina said Sonia Gandhi should also have spoken in detail in her book about women’s rights and issues related to their political representation.

Controversy over comments on RSS and Modi

In her book, Sonia Gandhi has referred to her limited interaction with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his political views. She described Modi’s ideology as being influenced by the RSS. After these comments, leaders of the BJP and Shiv Sena raised objections. BJP leaders have also questioned details in the book related to the Emergency and the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

Political rhetoric intensifies

After the publication of the book, a round of allegations and counter-allegations has begun between the Congress and the BJP. Congress leaders have defended Sonia Gandhi’s writing, while leaders of the BJP and Shiv Sena have questioned her statements. For now, the controversy remains a topic of discussion in Maharashtra as well as in national politics.
