RAHASYA throws lights on as to why former Congress president Sonia Gandhi turned down the Prime Ministerial post on May 18, 2004. As Sonia Gandhi, wife of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, outclassed the political stalwart then PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee in general election 2004. There was no doubt that Sonia Gandhi will be leader of UPA. But, in a sudden decision, she picked Manmohan Singh for the post of Prime Minister. However, BJP claimed that it was its moral victory as its party-men boisterously apposed Sonia’s name for the PM job due to her citizenship linked to Italy. Here, RAHASYA revealed the true incidents that happened behind the curtain.
