'Neither Rahul Nor I Received A Penny': Sonia Gandhi On National Herald Case

Congress leader Sonia Gandhi has asserted that neither Rahul Gandhi nor she ever received a penny from the National Herald revival process, as she accused the BJP of playing accuser and the judge simultaneously to target opposition leaders.In her memoir "Belonging: A Journey Of Love", Sonia Gandhi also says it broke her heart to witness the level of aggression her son has had to endure because of targeting by the Narendra Modi government and the BJP.As common as such attacks are in politics, this was a "fully-funded and well-organised campaign" projecting him as an entitled and petulant man with little understanding of the political world, she says, slamming attempts at tarnishing her son's image.Rahul was given derogatory epithets, social media trolls were unleashed to mock him and distort practically every word he uttered, she says in the book."I knew from my own experience that comforting words served little purpose.

I'd send him dishes he liked.
