Former MP Vinod Kumar says Sonia Gandhi’s memoir omits Telangana movement

Former MP Vinod Kumar, who represented a constituency in Telangana, told Telangana Today that the memoir of Congress leader Sonia Gandhi does not contain any passage about the state’s long‑standing demand for separatehood. The memoir, released earlier this month, chronicles Gandhi’s political journey from her early days in the party to her role in national politics, but according to Kumar, it skips the pivotal Telangana agitation that culminated in the creation of the state in 2014. Kumar said the omission downplays the contribution of Telangana leaders and activists, and he urged the author to acknowledge the movement in future editions. No response has been recorded from Gandhi’s camp or the publisher as of now.
