The Accidental Prime Minister: The Making and Unmaking of Manmohan Singh is a 2014 memoir by Indian policy analyst Sanjaya Baru, who was Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's media advisor from May 2004 until August 2008. Published by Penguin India, the book alleges that Singh was not entirely in control of his cabinet-or even the Prime Minister's Office (PMO).
Prime Ministers, in the past, had overawed the Supreme Court Judges and made them throw the Constitution and guaranteed fundamental rights into dustbin, as we shamefully note from the infamous Emergency-ADM Jabalpur case.
(Future historians may see...) By: Jaithirth Rao, Founder & Ex-CEO, MphasiS Sanjaya Baru's book has been perceived as an attack on PM Manmohan Singh, by a disgruntled employee who was denied a job by the Prime Minister in his second term. This is a completely wrong reading of the book.
In 2004 Sanjaya Baru left a successful career as chief editor of the Financial Express to join Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as his media adviser in UPA 1. Singh offered him the job with the words, Sitting here, I know I will be isolated from the outside world.
