When The Accidental Prime Minister was published in 2014, it created a storm and became the publishing feeling of the year. The Primary Minister’s Office called the publication a function of ‘fiction’, the press hailed it being a revelatory account of Primary Minister Manmohan Singh’s first term in the UPA. Compiled by Singh’s media adviser and respected aide, the book describes Singh’s frequently troubled relations with his ministers, his careful equation with Sonia Gandhi and exactly how he handled the big crises from handling the Left to pushing through the nuclear deal. Insightful, severe and packed with politics anecdotes, The Accidental Perfect Minister is among the great insider accounts of Indian political life.
