Internal politics in the book cabinet, the work of bureaucracy, related to the main achievements of the UPA 1 government, as well as the work of media advisors and so-called spin doctors.
Positives
This type of book is an attractive read. Baru gives some crisp gossip about the rivalries of ministers, bureaucrats and mediators. One knows what is behind those diplomatic smiles and friendly hands. The author has exposed the joke of the ruling party ministers and other leaders.
The book provides a good overview of the work of media advisors. In the current era of 24 7 news channels, the work of media advisors has acquired great importance. The news-starving media is always eager to break the "next big story" and it gives a lot of responsibility to the media adviser. Sanjay Baru explains how he rotated the news in favour of his boss and saved him several times in the media. Baru gives information about brand manufacturing practices and its impact not only at the national level but also in international politics.
Negative:
The story loses its strength in some chapters, especially in which the author analyzes various policy measures of the UPA government. These lessons only tell about some of the programs and reasons behind the’Bharat Nirman’, MNREGA, etc., Which becomes a bit boring.
Authors no For example, where their prediction or guess was correct, they got a no. In which incidents he tried to warn the PM and if the PM had followed his advice then the result of the events could have been better, therefore, at many places the author self evaluates and it is not possible to verify his claims. Since such cases, most of these incidents or conversations are behind closed doors.
