Book ‘PM Power’ Launched at New Delhi World Book Fair

 

New Delhi, EW correspondent: The book "PM Power", written by senior journalists Amit Kumar and Ritu Srivastava, was officially launched on Monday at the Diamond Books stall during the New Delhi World Book Fair, held at Bharat Mandapam. The book’s release ceremony witnessed the presence of prominent personalities, including Diamond Books Director N.K. Verma, senior writer Awadhesh Srivastava, Sandeep Sharma, Sunil Singh (Director of Pharmas Vision), religious leader Haridas Maharaj Peethadhish Pal Baba, Dr. R.P. Singh, filmmaker Dinesh Singh, along with many other writers and journalists. The book has been published by Diamond Books. 

Speaking on the occasion, N.K. Verma stated that the book elaborates on how India's Prime Ministers have used their power to shape the nation’s destiny. He emphasized that PM Power provides insights into crucial decisions made by various Indian Prime Ministers, many of which remain lesser-known to the public. 

Author Amit Kumar expressed confidence that the book would appeal to readers interested in Indian politics. He highlighted how Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s initiatives, such as Lakhpati Didi and Drone Didi, are designed to uplift women and contribute to national development. 

Co-author Ritu Srivastava added that the Ayodhya Ram Temple issue could have been resolved during former Prime Minister Chandrashekhar Singh’s tenure. According to her, Chandrashekhar had brought discussions between Hindu and Muslim communities to a decisive stage. However, his coalition partners withdrew support upon learning about these developments, which led to the issue being stalled. 

Religious leader Pal Baba encouraged people to read books like PM Power to gain deeper political insights. Following the launch, the book saw significant demand from readers, prompting the publisher to announce that an English edition will be released soon.
