'Sonia won't make me PM, said Pranab Mukherjee'

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 6 December 2023
Late former President Pranab Mukherjee, once a close confidant of Indira Gandhi, believed that Narendra Modi is the only Prime Minister after Indira who can feel the pulse of the people accurately. In her upcoming book, Pranab's daughter Sharmishtha narrates their conversations, including his desire to be the PM, his view of Rahul Gandhi, and Sonia Gandhi's decision to make Manmohan Singh the PM. Pranab also expressed doubts about Rahul's political maturity and advised him to gain experience.
