Sonia Gandhi Memoir Details Rift With Maneka Gandhi

Sonia Gandhi's newly released memoir explores the complex dynamics and familial tensions surrounding Maneka Gandhi, often referred to as 'Choti Bahu'. According to the book, Maneka's marriage to Sanjay Gandhi ignited disagreements that strained relationships within the household.

While Sonia Gandhi viewed them both as equal daughters of the family, the publication notes that Maneka likely perceived this perspective differently. Indira Gandhi also held concerns regarding Sanjay's political ambitions alongside Maneka's influence, further compounding the friction.

The escalating personal and political conflicts eventually culminated in a significant fallout. The memoir provides a detailed account of these events, culminating in Maneka's departure from the family.
