Sonia Gandhi is the longest-serving president of the Congress party, which has governed India during most of its post-Independence decades. She was born in Italy, and educated at Cambridge University, where she met Rajiv Gandhi, who was then the son of prime minister Indira Gandhi. The two married in 1968.
After Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination in 1991, during campaigning for that year’s general elections, Sonia Gandhi initially stayed away from politics, but in 1998, she was chosen as the president of the Congress party. Under her leadership, in 2004, a Congress-led coalition came to power at the Centre. She famously declined to be prime minister — her foreign birth had become a politically controversial issue — and instead chose the economist Manmohan Singh. She was then named the chairperson of the coalition, which was called the United Progressive Alliance or the UPA.
Sonia Gandhi won her first Lok Sabha election in 1999, representing Amethi in Uttar Pradesh, a family stronghold. From 2004, she has represented Rae Bareli as an MP in the Lok Sabha. In 2024, she announced she was contesting elections from the Rajya Sabha, the indirectly elected house of Parliament, signalling her stepping back from electoral politics.
Congress in which ever garb is an established corrupt power centre.its caste based politics has already set our country back by a couple of decades.this new cocktail is another attempt to suck whatever is left of the country.
This is the most corrupt person India has ever produced. He surpasses all the known corrupt, treacherous people across the globe. People fall pray to his sweet coated words and motherhood statements he utters when not in power. If permitted he should be publicly lynched.
For the good future of Indian sovereign and the people of the sovereign, this current government’s ouster is the only way out.who becomes THE next prime minister of the the state is secondary.let the secular forces unite and come to the secular platform and who does it successfully can be Nex prime minister.
