What Rahul Gandhi told Sonia Gandhi about Rajiv’s death 2 months before it happened

Former Congress president Sonia Gandhi has revealed a striking observation about her interactions with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in her newly published memoir, Belonging: A Journey of Love. According to Gandhi, Modi frequently fails to maintain eye contact during their meetings at official events, instead opting to look away.

This behavior has persisted despite Modi's prolonged tenure as Prime Minister, which spans over twelve years. The two leaders have engaged in minimal conversation, with their exchanges usually limited to brief, formal interactions such as a mutual namaste. Gandhi notes the stark contrast between her limited personal relationship with Modi and the cordial relationships that leaders from opposing parties once enjoyed.

Their conversations, she explains, have scarcely gone beyond cursory exchanges. In addition to her memoir, Gandhi uses this revelation to highlight the significant ideological differences that separate her from the Prime Minister. She describes her own vision for India as one rooted in inclusiveness, secularism, equality, and social justice, contrasting it sharply with Modi's perspective, which she attributes to the ideology of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
