Kochi : Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan, shared his excitement after receiving a copy of Sonia Gandhi’s highly anticipated memoir, Belonging: A Journey of Love.
In an inspiring post shared on Facebook, the senior leader reflected on his journey of working under Sonia Gandhi’s leadership during her long tenure as Congress President and UPA Chairperson.
“Receiving Sonia Gandhi’s memoir ‘Belonging: A Journey of Love’ is a moment of reflection,” wrote Satheesan. “Having had the opportunity to serve as an MLA and party worker under her leadership as Congress President and UPA Chairperson remains one of the most significant experiences of my political career. There was so much to learn from her guidance during that era.”
Satheesan underscored the core political philosophy that Sonia Gandhi’s life embodies:
“Sonia Gandhi’s life reminds us that empathy is the true foundation of politics, and that true strength of leadership lies in care, responsibility, and silent courage. For a new generation aspiring to serve the public with genuine dedication, she remains an enduring source of inspiration.”
He also drew attention to the cover photograph of the book, which holds a deeply personal history—it was captured by Rajiv Gandhi in Turin back in 1966.
Expressing his anticipation to read through the 544-page volume, Satheesan concluded: “I am eagerly waiting to read this book, which tells a deeply personal story of love, loss, and the profound sense of belonging.”
