Congress President Sonia Gandhi is not well known for being media-friendly, you can count the interviews Sonia Gandhi has given in the last 15 years on the fingers of one hand.
But, recently to a sudden surprise, Sonia Gandhi gave her first television interview after almost a decade. This latest news took to a great hype among the people about the interview as there was much to expect.
Talking to India Today’s Rajdeep Sardesai, the Congress president spoke a lot about her mother-in-law Indira Gandhi, the comparisons between PM Narendra Modi and Indira Gandhi, and her staunch belief that the party will surely come back to power.
Watch the Video Here:
But interestingly, what was left unspoken made more news on social media than what was talked about in the interview.
Sardesai’s little or no inquiry about Rahul Gandhi and the scams that the Congress party was involved in, did not go unnoticed, and in no time, people took to the Internet to evaluate what was touted the “interview of the decade”.
Many criticised the interview as what rather seemed like a “lovely, adorable” chit-chat between the two, others were reminded how everyone criticised Arnab Goswami for his “soft” interview with PM Modi, of which this seemed nothing less than a repetition.
While a majority conceded how the interview left many questions unanswered, the tweets pertaining to the interview sure did some talking! Sample some of the tweets are here!

Rajdeep described Sonia Gandhi interview “biggest of the decade”. Great to see hard hitting questions like “Describe Indira” “How is Rahul?”
