A 45-year-old family story in Sonia Gandhi’s new memoir, Belonging: A Journey of Love, has sparked fresh political debate in India. According to News18 Rajasthan, the book mentions former Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje in connection with growing tensions between Indira Gandhi and Maneka Gandhi after Sanjay Gandhi’s death.
Sonia Gandhi writes that when Varun Gandhi turned one in March 1981, Indira Gandhi suggested a small home gathering with Maneka’s friends. Maneka declined the offer. Later, the family discovered a secret birthday party had been held at Vasundhara Raje’s Delhi residence instead, deepening rifts inside the Gandhi household.
