He also claimed that a lot of the BJP leaders secretly like his mother and think she is fantastic "but unfortunately can't say it".

Responding to a question during an 'Ask Me' session on Instagram as to why the BJP is talking so much about Sonia Gandhi's just-released book "Belonging: A Journey Of Love", Gandhi said, "It is a great book, they are all reading it. They can't resist reading it and then they have got to comment on it." "A lot of them actually secretly like her and they think she is fantastic, but unfortunately they can't say it. The other thing is - all you Bhakts, please please keep commenting on the book because the more you comment, the better it does.

Ok guys," the Leader Of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said.
