Sonia was unable to handle party affairs after I became Prez: Mukherjee in book
The late Pranab Mukherjee wrote in his memoir that Congress' leadership lost political focus after he became India's President, "While Sonia Gandhi was unable to handle the affairs of the party, Dr (Manmohan) Singh's prolonged absence from the House put an end to any personal contact with other MPs," he wrote. Mukherjee added Singh was "preoccupied with saving the coalition".
