Sonia Gandhi's decision not to take the prime minister's post, as recounted in a report

A report from Economic Times revisits the 2004 episode in which Sonia Gandhi chose not to become India's prime minister despite her Congress party's electoral success. The article's headline frames the account around her personal decision-making process on the top government role. The source text supplied for this item is incomplete, containing only a single symbol, so the specific details of how she reached her decision cannot be verified here.
