In the corridors of Indian politics, the life of former Congress Party President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi has always been the center of curiosity, sacrifice and tough political struggles. Now that discussions are going on about the publication of Sonia Gandhi's much awaited autobiography and some of its excerpts becoming public, it is natural for the temperature to rise in political circles. Meanwhile, the first official and very emotional reaction of Sonia Gandhi's daughter and Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on this book and her mother's political journey has come to light. Priyanka Gandhi candidly said during an interview that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) have made countless attacks against Sonia Gandhi at the personal and political level in the last several decades, made various kinds of allegations, but Sonia Gandhi never left her dignity and always bore everything silently like a rock, giving priority to the national interest. Decades of political attacks and Sonia Gandhi's art of remaining 'silent' Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, highlighting the strongest aspect of her mother's personality, said that when Sonia Gandhi entered Indian politics, she faced huge challenges of language, culture and political aggression. From the issue of foreign origin to personal stigma, the opposition parties left no stone unturned to weaken him. BJP and RSS leaders from time to time fired sharp political arrows at her and targeted her, but Sonia Gandhi's biggest strength was her 'dignified silence', which her opponents never understood. According to Priyanka, Sonia Gandhi believed that in politics the answer should not be given by statements, but by your work and dedication towards the public. He never responded to provocations with low level rhetoric, but faced every difficult situation with patience and inner fortitude. This is the reason that even amidst all the political storms, his acceptance and his stature within the Congress Party always remained steadfast. Many big unexplored secrets of Indian politics are hidden in the pages of the autobiography. Political analysts believe that this upcoming autobiography of Sonia Gandhi is not just the biography of one person, but it is a document of modern Indian political history which will unveil many unheard secrets of the rise of the Congress Party, the period of coalition governments (1998 to 2014) and the unexpected victories of the UPA in 2004 and 2009. In 2004, when Congress unexpectedly won the elections, Sonia Gandhi's historic decision to resign the post of Prime Minister and hand over the command to Manmohan Singh is still remembered as the biggest sacrifice in Indian politics. After this statement of Priyanka Gandhi, it is being speculated that this book will mention all those moments when political pressure was at its peak. How Sonia Gandhi kept the country's oldest party united amidst attacks from opposition parties, internal challenges within the party and loyalty to the family, all these things can be revealed in this memoir.

Congress supporters and leaders believe that Sonia Gandhi's life has been synonymous with sacrifice and service, and her autobiography will inspire generations to come. On the other hand, the opposition party BJP has taken a dig at this and said that the Congress party is now resorting to such tactics to garner sympathy. BJP spokespersons say that in politics accountability is towards the public and parties doing dynasty politics should introspect on their decisions. However, political analysts also believe that Sonia Gandhi's political style and personality are such that a large section of the country still has deep respect for them, and the arrival of her book in the market can spark a new ideological debate in the electoral environment. A unique chapter of sacrifice and leadership, this autobiography of Sonia Gandhi is not just a book, but it is a testimony of the period when India was going through the most sensitive phase of ideological and economic change.
