Yashwant Sinha is one of the fiercest, bravest and most well-respected critics of the Narendra Modi government. In this book, he says the things that many are thinking but few have the courage to say. He looks back at the Modi government’s economic and development track record and separates the truth from the PR spin. What emerges is a deeply troubling portrait of a prime minister and a government that have wasted a once-in-a-lifetime mandate.
