Thiruvananthapuram, Nov 10 (SocialNews.XYZ) Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan on Tuesday received a copy of Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's memoir, "Belonging: A Journey of Love", and recalled his early days in politics when she led the party.
Sharing his thoughts on receiving the book, Satheesan said he had been a young MLA and party worker during Sonia Gandhi's years as Congress President and UPA Chairperson.
He said he had learnt under her leadership and described her life as an example of empathy, compassion, duty, and courage.
Satheesan shared the news through a post on X, along with his thoughts on Sonia Gandhi and her memoir.
"Received my copy of Smt. Sonia Gandhi Ji’s memoir, Belonging: A Journey of Love, today from Modern Book Centre. As the longtime Congress President and UPA Chairperson, she guided our party with quiet strength and unwavering commitment. During those years, I was a young MLA and party worker, learning under her leadership. Her life reminds us that empathy is the true foundation of politics and that real leadership is rooted in compassion, duty and quiet courage. She remains an enduring inspiration for young Indians who aspire to serve with integrity and heart. I was surprised to learn that the cover photo of this book was taken by Shri Rajiv Gandhi ji in Turin in 1966. Looking forward to reading this personal journey of love, loss and belonging."
The memoir is a personal account of Sonia Gandhi's life, covering her journey from her early years to her life in India, her family, personal losses and public life.
The cover photograph has a special connection to her late husband Rajiv Gandhi.
It was taken by him in Turin, Italy, in 1966, before their marriage.
Satheesan's post also reflects his personal association with the Congress leadership during his early political years.
His reference to being a young MLA and party worker recalls a period when Sonia Gandhi was at the helm of the party and later led the United Progressive Alliance government.
The memoir offers readers a glimpse into her personal journey through love, loss and belonging.
