Sonia Gandhi says she has had no real contact with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his twelve years in office. In her new memoir, she writes that while they greet each other with a namaste, "he tends to look away, avoiding eye contact" during their meetings at official public gatherings.
They meet at official gatherings but there has been "no real contact with him", writes Sonia Gandhi about Prime Minister Narendra Modi in her memoir, 'Belonging: A Journey Of Love', which hits the stands today. "Narendra Damodardas Modi has been the prime minister of India for more than twelve years as of this writing and is now in his third term in office. To this day, I've had practically no real contact with him," she says in the book. The former Congress chief says whenever the two come together, they greet each other with a namaste, but claims that the Prime Minister "tends to look away, avoiding eye contact", which she says is a departure from the cordiality expressed by leaders in the past.
