Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar has made a stunning claim that his career was both made and unmade by the Gandhi family. Aiyar, a veteran politician and former diplomat, revealed this in his new book, where he also discusses his complicated relationship with the Gandhi family.¹
Aiyar’s claim has sparked significant interest, given his long association with the Congress party and his past roles as a minister in the UPA government. While Aiyar has not elaborated on the specific circumstances that led to his career being “unmade,” his statement is likely to generate considerable debate and discussion.
It’s worth noting that Aiyar has been critical of the Congress party’s leadership in the past, and his comments may be seen as a reflection of his own experiences and frustrations within the party. Nonetheless, his claim has added a new layer of complexity to the ongoing discussions about the Congress party’s internal dynamics and its future direction.
