Congress leader Sonia Gandhi has said she has had almost no personal interaction with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, claiming he tends to avoid eye contact during their meetings. In her new memoir, Belonging: A Journey of Love, released on Tuesday, she recalls that their encounters are mostly limited to formal greetings at official gatherings.

She also acknowledges some common ground in their experiences of elite political circles. (PC: The Indian Express)
