UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi has finally reacted to Natwar Singh's interview to Karan Thapar on Headlines Today, that it wasn't her inner voice, but Rahul Gandhi who told her not to become PM.

Sonia broke her silence on ex-Congress leader, , former external affairs minister and family friend K Natwar's Singh's book, One Life is Not Enough: An Autobiography, and said she would write her own book one day, and everything would be clear. "When I write a book, the truth will be exposed," Sonia said today.

In his book, Natwar Singh says Sonia declined to become Prime Minister in 2004 because of strong opposition from her son Rahul Gandhi who was afraid she would be killed like his father and grandmother if she accepted the post.

To persuade him from not referring to this particular episode in his autobiography, the Congress president along with her daughter Priyanka Gandhi met him on May 7 at his residence but he decided to disclose facts as they were and tell the "truth", Singh claimed in an interview to Karan Thapar on Headlines Today.  The book will be released in August.
