The Accidental Prime Minister
The Accidental Prime Minister: The Making and Unmaking of Manmohan Singh | Sanjaya Baru
5 posts | 9 read | 2 reading | 1 to read
When The Accidental Prime Minister was published in 2014, it created a storm and became the publishing sensation of the year. The Prime Minister’s Office called the book a work of ‘fiction’, the press hailed it as a revelatory account of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s first term in UPA. Written by Singh’s media adviser and trusted aide, the book describes Singh’s often troubled relations with his ministers, his cautious equation with Sonia Gandhi and how he handled the big crises from managing the Left to pushing through the nuclear deal. Insightful, acute and packed with political anecdotes, The Accidental Prime Minister is one of the great insider accounts of Indian political life.

Offers rare insight into the functioning of the PMO & lends voice to our otherwise shy PM. It leaves no doubt about the presence of an alternate power centre. Criticised widely & branded a mix of fact & fiction, I found this worthy of a read, if not to unearth the absolute truth about UPA govt but at least to understand the various forces that play a part in governance of a country like India & to make a more informed opinion about the PM himself.

The book is written by an author who was working for Dr Singh, so it praised Dr Singh s efforts during his tenure as PM of India.

Before 2019 Lok sabha elections, those indians who will caste their votes, should read this book, and analyze the difference between the puppet prime minister with no authority of his own, and a prime Minister with the ability to take decision without fear.
