Congress Veteran
Among the most influential leaders in the history of the Congress, Sonia Gandhi has played a key role in shaping the party’s direction for decades. She is the widow of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and mother of Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. Following Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination in 1991, Sonia Gandhi stayed away from active politics for several years. However, after repeated appeals from Congress leaders, she entered active politics and public life in 1997.
She became Congress president in 1998 and went on to lead the party for 22 consecutive years, making her the longest-serving woman president in the party’s history.
Gandhi returned as Congress chief in 2019 and held the position for nearly three years, guiding the party through a period marked by significant political challenges.
