Tamil Nadu CM Vijay to attend Sonia Gandhi book launch in Delhi

The chief minister is travelling to the national capital on November 16 following a personal invitation from the Congress leader.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay is scheduled to attend the book launch of Congress leader Sonia Gandhi in New Delhi on November 16, according to The Times of India and India Today.

The event marks the formal launch of the memoir titled Belonging: A Journey of Love, which was published on November 10.

A senior Congress leader stated that Vijay is travelling to Delhi after receiving a personal invitation from Sonia Gandhi, noting that Rahul Gandhi also called him to extend the invitation.

This will be the second meeting between the chief minister and the Congress leader since Vijay took office in May with the support of Congress MLAs.

Sources from the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) indicated that the chief minister has no other official business in Delhi during this trip besides the launch.

The visit follows a June trip to the capital where Vijay attended a NITI Aayog governing council meeting and met with Sonia and Rahul Gandhi at 10 Janpath.
