It is tough to believe that an Italian born girl will once be the face of a country, of India miles away from her birth place and achieving such extraordinary success. This is not something that any human being can get and more importantly maintain for such a long time. Born in a small village in Italy Sonia Gandhi is now the President of the Indian National Congress and is the longest serving chairperson in the 125 years of history of the congress party in India.
Sonia Gandhi was married to the son of the Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. She was married to Rajiv Gandhi and she has two children. Both she and her husband avoided the public eye and kept themselves out of politics for a long time. There was constant pressure on both of them to join politics from various people in the political world but she managed to maintain a low profile and was more focused on her family. However, she came to public eye after the assassination of her mother-in-law and election of her husband as the prime minister of India in the next elections.
Sonia Gandhi could not be kept under the wraps for very long, after election of her husband, Rajiv Gandhi as the prime minister of India. She was the official hostess of the prime minister and so she had to accompany him to many of his visits to the states. After the assassination of her husband Rajiv Gandhi P. Narshima Rao became the president and the Prime Minister. The congress party then became the ruling party but under leadership of Rao. The fortunes of the party kept dwindling and the Congress had a number of internal disputes at that time.
Then in 1998 Sonia Gandhi was made party member and president. Many leaders of the party opposed her credibility to become the Prime Minister due to her foreign origin and this had caused major rift in the Congress party. She also offered to resign as party president. The people who protested against her finally left the party and formed a separate party. Since congress was no longer in power she was made the leader of opposition and led the no confidence movement against the ruling party, BJP. Congress along with the help from the left formed the UPA that became the ruling party and she appointed Manmohan Singh as the Prime Minister of India.
Being a widow in one of the most respected families of the country this lady has kept herself away from any kind of controversy, everything from her dressing sense to her speech. It is very visible from Sonia Gandhi photos that she dresses very elegantly and is a true representative of the country. Her speaking skills and leadership qualities are also talked of and Sonia Gandhi videos clearly suggest this fact. Being of Italian origin, she has worked a lot on her speaking skills and is now one of the best speakers and leaders in the country.
