Meeting with Thackeray upset Sonia Gandhi: Ex-Prez Mukherjee
Congress President Sonia Gandhi was upset with former President Pranab Mukherjee for meeting late Shiv Sena leader Bal Thackeray before his election as President of India in 2012, Mukherjee revealed in his autobiography. He added that his visit was significant as Shiv Sena, which was part of BJP-led NDA, had extended its support to Mukherjee's candidature, without being asked to.
