About the Book'Manmohan has three daughters, no son; so he treats Sanjaya as soon.'-Sonia Gandhi, OutlookIn 2004 Sanjaya Baru left a successful career as chief editor of theFinancial Express to join Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as his mediaadviser in UPA 1. Singh offered him the job with the words, 'Sitting here,I know I will be isolated from the outside world. I want you to be my eyesand ears. Tell me what you think I should know, without fear or favour.'
The Accidental Prime Minister is Baru's account of what it was like to 'manage' public opinion for Singh while giving us a riveting look at Indian politics as it happened behind the scenes. As Singh's spin doctor and trusted aide for four years, Baru observed up close 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. In this book he tells all and draws for the first time a revelatory picture of what it was like for Singh to work in a government that had two centres of power.
Insightful, acute and packed with political gossip, The Accidental Prime Minister
is one of the great insider accounts of Indian political life and a superb
portrait of the Manmohan Singh era.
