Tamil Nadu CM Vijay likely to attend Sonia Gandhi book launch

The Chief Minister is expected to participate in the Delhi event for the memoir titled Belonging: A Journey of Love.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay is expected to attend the formal launch of Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's memoir in New Delhi on November 16, according to sources in the Congress reported by The New Indian Express.

The event for the book, titled 'Belonging: A Journey of Love', is scheduled to take place at the Hotel ITC Maurya. The 544-page memoir, which covers Gandhi's life from her childhood in Italy to her marriage to Rajiv Gandhi and her political career in India, went on sale across the country on November 10.

Other attendees expected at the launch include Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge, according to the Deccan Chronicle.

Vijay previously visited the national capital in June to attend a NITI Aayog meeting and met with both Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.

The Chief Minister's anticipated visit occurs alongside the Mekedatu issue involving Karnataka. The DMK has called for the Tamil Nadu government to lead a delegation of MPs and MLAs to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi to oppose the Mekedatu dam proposal.
