“Sonia Gandhi’s book portrays Sanjay Gandhi as villain, Rajiv as hero” – BJP MP Nishikant Dubey

BJP MP Nishikant Dubey on Tuesday criticised Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi over her recently released memoir, questioning her portrayal of former Prime Ministers Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, and former Congress leader Sanjay Gandhi, while alleging that the book was an attempt at self-praise.

Questioning the narrative presented in the book, Dubey said that Sonia Gandhi had portrayed Sanjay Gandhi as a villain and Rajiv Gandhi as a hero, adding that neither of them, nor Indira Gandhi, was alive to respond to the claims.

“What kind of relaunch is this? Sonia Gandhi has written a book in which she has portrayed Sanjay Gandhi as a villain and Rajiv Gandhi as a hero. Neither Sanjay Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, nor Rajiv Gandhi is alive to respond to these claims.

Ultimately, who will decide whether what she has said is right or wrong?” he said.
