"For those who want to understand politics, my book has every details of all the elections from 1952 to 2004 in the country. Basically, it is an effort to make politics easy and interesting for the readers," said Rajesh who has also included interviews of several erstwhile veterans in the book.

Future PM by Dev Verma on 19 May 2008

Why not if a person like manmohan singh can work under sonia's peticoat these books can name any tom,dick and harry.Its laughable if you name lalu and Mayawati both are booked for corruption.

What about Jaya? by Swamy on 20 May 2008

What about Jaya. She is the MOST corrupt with 28 cases proved against her. Equally uneducated as she studied only up to 10th grade..

Probable PM's by V.S.Venkatavaradan on 19 May 2008

The top three in the probable list for future PM's of India is intersesting. Can anyone guess what is common between them? For those who cannot guess here is the answer: Serious cases of corruption are pending against them. Two of them have to even resign their CM posts on account of the scams. Of course, the cases go on. They will go on even after all of them become PM's in succession.

Error by Naresh on 19 May 2008

Jayalitha is not DMK leader , She is of ADMK.. Pls maintain your standard Indian Express..

Criminal leadership by Harish on 19 May 2008

It is sad that low calibre people such as Laloo, Maya

You forgot Jaya by Swamy on 19 May 2008

What about Jaya, the worst of worst caliber woman in the world?

reply to Harish by sk on 19 May 2008

Please! please! Do not consider them low caliber people. See the railways turn around. Look at Maya's revolutionary all inclusive approach to politics. She included lots of high caste people in her party/government which the BJP is unable to replicate so far.

Future PM???? by romesh.sharma on 19 May 2008

All these three mentioned above are dregs of the Indian society and most corrupt politicians.None of them deserves to be what he/she has already manuplated to achieve.I don't think if anyone out them will have another 20 to 30 years to live.Moreover in India incoming decade there will be drastic change in Indian mentality and polity which will refuse to accept imprudent oldies as leaders of the Nation.The other names mentioned can be simply forgotten with the exception of RajNathSingh,Arun Jaitley,Narendra Modi and Sushma Swaraj.All authors claim to have done exhaustive research and sincerely exlicit in their work.Authors like Gujral either borrow the stuff from others or simply take help of some matured but unknown writers and publish the socalled books under their names.Nothing but business and an act of keeping alive in media,perhaps to gain some popularity!

Ethical Governance by SKannath on 19 May 2008

In a feudal political structure only select few come in the category for the PM post. In a functional democracies as in Scandinavian system, anyone qualified can become PM, once proved their merit.

exhaustive research? by Saket on 19 May 2008

Exhaustive research... I can also add all the name and create one list. and that to without "exhaustive research".

Jayalalitha takes over DMK ??? by vijay on 19 May 2008

I knew Karunanidhi is in succession planning mode and after the Birla-Lodha case, anything is possible in the secretive world of wills. But to imagine Jaya being nominated as DMK leader by Karuna is taking Karuna's senility too seriously. Despite his dementia and general lack of cognizance attributed to the aging process, expecting Karuna to do something like this is almost like saying - "No more Bloopers from Mr. Bush"

bharat mata by indian on 19 May 2008

india is great. other name for India is bharatmata.like mother accepts a mentally retarded child happily,we indias accepts any body happily let him be a foreign PM.there is nothing great in this.

Wrong Information by Suresh Rangaswamy on 19 May 2008

Jayalalitha is not a DMK leader, she is an ADMK Leader. Correct your article.
