Sonia Gandhi’s memoir, Belonging: A Journey of Love, sparked a political controversy on Tuesday, with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) criticising its account of Operation Blue Star and the Congress party’s governance.

Congress leader Sonia Gandhi met RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav at his daughter Misa Bharti's residence in New Delhi on Monday. The leaders recalled the UPA era, discussing welfare laws such as MGNREGA, RTE and RTI. Tejashwi Yadav was also present at the meeting
