Heptula wrote in her autobiography pursuit of democracy: Cutting across party lines, she informed the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee immediately after her election and he was delighted with the news. “When he heard the news, he was happy — first, because this honor had come to India, and second, because this honor had come to an Indian Muslim woman. He said, ‘You are back, we will celebrate.
However, she strives to share this milestone Sonia Gandhi was frustrated. “When I called congress Mr. President, her staff responded, “Ma’am is busy.” Even though I explained it was an international call, I was told, “Please wait.” I waited a full hour, but Sonia never Call and talk to me,” she wrote.

She reportedly had differences with Sonia Gandhi and eventually left the Congress and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party in 2004. Alliance related travel grants.
