The accidental prime minister…. By Sanjaya Baru..
Reading a non fiction takes time and patience…. I have little of both but still I couldn’t let this one down though that’s exactly what he had done according to the author!…..
A biography of sorts by an editor of repute who was the chief media advisor to the PM during the UPA1….. The frank narrative though having Rashomon like weakness…. It’s one point of view, though there are some common understanding..
-Any success will be credited to the owner while any failure will be given to the Singh….
-the Singh may be incorruptible but he will regularly turn a blind eye and deaf ear to the corruption, to the looting and to the injustice happening all around…
-he will stand up for no one but the lady gaga though she can trample over him without any remorse…
-he may be the prime man in the country but the decision is taken by the Queen bee of the palace…
-apparently in a beehive even the workers under a bee king do not report to him but only to the queen!!
-for all the talk about being a gentleman when it came to giving relief then it’s always politics and nothing else. So an ally bihari gets the aid while the opponent odissi gets the snub…..
-all the work is done by the secretaries who are the backbone of the office but they are a complicated mixture of ego, attitude, Cadre and rarely talent
-the royal snub given to one of the best pm Rao is more dramatic than Ken Follet’s stories….. Which is quite sad..
-the left don’t have anything right and very soon they will be out of sight!!…..
-anyone who makes big stories about the highly educated highly intelligent singh must read this to see how he can be used as a mattress and the whole exercise was just a seat warming one for the big boy blunder….!!!
All of the above are in codes…. But the intelligent will get it….so before making any politically correct statement it may be wise to consult this dictionary of UPA1….
