“Image of a purported excerpt from Pranab Mukherjee’s book which reads that Sonia Gandhi took offence of his praise over Narendra Modi’s one year tenure as PM”
What FACTLY found
The book ‘The Presidential Years’ from which the purported excerpt is picked from is not yet released. According to news articles, Rupa Publications which acquired the rights of the book is planning to release the book later this year on Pranab Mukherjee’s birth anniversary i.e. on 11 December 2020. With this, we can say that the excerpt in the post is a cooked-up story
