Pranab Mukherjee Memoir | Can Congress Look Beyond The Gandhis ? | Rahul Gandhi | English News
Pranab Mukherjee questioned Rahul Gandhi's ability to lead the Congress and was disappointed by his "frequent disappearing acts", reveals a new book written by Congress veteran Pranab Mukherjee's daughter Sharmishtha Mukherjee.
In the book "Pranab My Father", Sharmishtha Mukherjee, a former Congress leader, shares her father's critical comments on Rahul Gandhi and his take on his relationship with the Gandhi family.
"One morning, during Pranab's usual morning walk in the Mughal Gardens (now Amrit Udyan), Rahul came to see him. Pranab disliked any interruptions during his morning walks and puja. Nevertheless, he decided to meet him. It turned out that Rahul was actually scheduled to meet Pranab later in the evening, but his (Rahul's) office mistakenly informed him that the meeting was in the morning. I came to know about the incident from one of the ADCs. When I asked my father, he commented sardonically, 'If Rahul's office can't differentiate between 'a.m' and 'p.m', how do they hope to run the PMO one day?'"
Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday asserted that the results of the recently concluded Assembly polls in states would further strengthen the INDIA bloc while also hitting out at the Congress over the outcome.
