NEW DELHI: (Nov 10) Then Congress president Sonia Gandhi picked Manmohan Singh to lead the country in 2004 as she thought of him as a person of “unquestionable” integrity with a deep understanding of governance, and that he would also assuage the doubts of many about the UPA’s ability to manage and continue the policies that began years ago.
Gandhi gives an insight into the decision in her long-awaited memoir — “Belonging: A Journey of Love”, published by HarperCollins India, that hit the stands on Tuesday.
After she finally decided to turn down the post of prime minister, a call had to be taken on who indeed would assume the office and take the oath of allegiance the following day.
