  "account": "Rahul Gandhi, leader of India's Congress party, responded to criticism from BJP over former AICC chief Sonia Gandhi's memoir titled 'Belonging: A Journey Of Love'. Gandhi claimed that the more BJP members comment on the book, the more popular it would become. He also stated that many BJP leaders secretly approve of his mother and consider her to be fantastic, but are hesitant to express their views. Sonia Gandhi's memoir provides a candid account of her life, including her experiences during the 2002 Gujarat riots where she visited relief camps with an all-party delegation. The book, released on Tuesday, has received a warm welcome from readers lining up at major bookstores in central Delhi to purchase copies.",
  "summary": "Responding to a question during an ‘Ask Me’ session on Instagram, Rahul Gandhi said, “It is a great book, they are all reading it. They can’t resist reading it and then they have got to comment on it”",
