How are the personal relations between Sonia Gandhi and Maneka Gandhi?


  • Frosty : On June 23rd , Mrs Maneka Gandhi and her son Varun Gandhi paid a visit to Shanti Vana -memorial of late Sanjay Gandhi- husband of Mrs Maneka Gandhi and father of Varun Gandhi.
  • But, to every body’s surprise, no other prominent member of Gandhi family visited it .
  • On May 21st ; on the death anniversary of late Rajiv Gandhi , Sonia Gandhi and her children Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi-Vadra regularly visit Veer Bhumi - memorial dedicated to late Indian prime minister.
  • Nevertheless, Maneka Gandhi and her son Varun Gandhi have hardly visited it in recent years.
  • In past, both sides had avoided major family functions-family weddings. 
  • Friendly : Nevertheless, they were once close. According to Maneka Gandhi ; they had a normal family life. 
  • Opponent : Opponent : It is noteworthy that Maneka Gandhi has openly spoken against Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi in many interviews. She has also campaigned against them.
  • Apparently, it was only after political debut of Maneka Gandhi ;when relationship between her and Gandhi family soured. 
  • Rivalry : Previously ,there had been amity between cousins- Rahul, Priyanka and Varun Gandhi; but ,hard politics overtook their familial bond.
  • Conclusion : What comes easy won’t last; what lasts won’t come easy.
