Yes. She apparently is - at least the most powerful politician. If you have doubts, look at these facts...
....She heads the oldest political organisation of the country which is also the party in govt at the centre and in many states.
...She revived the fortunes of a party that was almost written off and could not be seen in the glare of 'India Shining'.
...Her hold on the party oranisation is very strong, perhaps stronger than that of many other congress presidents in recent history or other large political parties in the country.
...Current prime minister is not a career politician. Sonia's influence on the govt. is almost absolute.
...She is the head of what is known as India's 'first political family', a family which has had three prime ministers for most part of the independent India's history.
...She is widely respected by people for giving up the chance of becoming the prime minister, in favour of an honest respectable man who had a very good track record as India's finance minister.
...She may be on her way to becoming the prime minister in near future, if some recent opinion polls are any indication.

According to Forbes, Sonia Gandhi is the 3rd most powerful woman in the world (after Condoleezza Rice and Wu Yi). So she is definitely the most powerful woman in India.
Is she also the most powerful person in India? Probably, it is difficult to measure. In any case she is one of the few persons influencing heavily India
