Circa 1970: Ambika Soni, Who is that?

Welcome back!

That was the case way back in seventies when the now Gen. Secy of Congress was a rookie congree woman or better to say a close aide of “Sanjay Gandhi”. Sanjay shot to fame for all wrong reasons. His dictionary had just one word starting with W. You guessed it right, “WOMEN.” Thanks to his love for the fairer sex many “leaders” were born. Ambika Soni is just one of them( we shouldnt forget the former “whatever” Maneka gandhi).

Ms. Soni caught my attention when she was the AICC “watchwoman” for Kerala.

She had the onus of managing the petty political infighting in Kerala’s Congress. But she could not do it as expected by Sonia (ji!!!) and so left for Rajasthan.

I read about the rise of Soni in “Kerala kaumudi”. She was a cantontment kid who started off as a volutneer in congress. Later became in charge of the party’s international relations(her hubby is an IFS officer, so???).

Somewhere down the lane ,Youth Congress chief etc. It was our dear Sanjay who spotted this Punjab di kudi as a College Political leader.

Soni is indeed one of the players in the drama that lead to the Emergency.

It is a shame for us all that sycophants of this kind are still trying to rise in the political firmmament. Why is the media covering her so much. What if she is not accomodated in the ministry.
