Congress leader Sonia Gandhi has rejected allegations that she exercised unofficial control over the government during former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's tenure. In her new memoir, Belonging: A Journey of Love, she said there was a clear division of responsibilities, with Singh leading the government and her managing the Congress party. Gandhi said she could offer suggestions or disagree with the prime minister, but it was her duty to respect his authority. She also said she avoided actions that could create misunderstandings and weaken the government. Her account comes amid renewed debate over the power structure during the UPA years. (PC: News18)
