The release of Sonia Gandhi’s Belonging: A Journey of Love has triggered a rather amusing spectacle in Congress. Within hours, Congress leaders, Chief Ministers, MPs, party functionaries and so called independent journalists suddenly discovered an extraordinary passion for reading.
What a remarkable coincidence! A collective literary awakening overnight!
When you can barely string two words together in English, but the sudden urge to impress the high command turns you into an overnight speed-reading champion.
The picture shows that he is already on some 100th page while in the caption he says turning a few pages.Things Congressis do to impress their Rajmata is high level insanity.
Good boy. Homework completed and marked as completed.
And congratulations Supriya, you just broke Chitti the Robot's reading record.

It's important to keep high command happy or you lose the chair. Jokes apart, guess only Congress cm jisne apart from photo-ops book padhi hogi.
The ultimate reading assignment for the Congress beat: diving deep into Sonia Gandhi’s memoir, Belonging.
Are these genuine readers or is this another round of political homework to demonstrate loyalty to the Gandhi family? It almost looks like Dussehra–Diwali vacation homework, with everyone rushing to submit their reading assignment and project photographs to the high command!
At the same time, these are the exact same people who always complain about other media channels and shout about media bias. Yet here they are, turning their own social media pages into a massive marketing campaign for one book.
It is funny to watch. For years, nobody saw these leaders read anything except party pamphlets. Now, books are not meant to be read anymore. They are just props for photos, used to look smart on the internet.
When political leaders appear more eager to display a book than discuss governance, unemployment, development or public accountability, the priorities speak for themselves.
