The conventional wisdom in Bihar's political circles was that development did not win votes. Nitish Kumar challenged that assumption and changed the face of the state. Born into a humble family in Bakhtiyarpur, Nitish joined the Lohiaite Socialist Party and built his constituency, literally day by day, forgoing a stable job to travel to distant villages, suffering both financial hardship and ridicule for the eight years it took him to win people's confidence. Veteran journalist Arun Sinha tells the story of Nitish Kumar's rise against the larger canvas of social and political upheaval in Bihar, exploring the emergent desire for equality that drove progressive movements from late 1960s onward...

In the eyes of those who had lost all hopes in Bihar, Nitish Kumar has acquired the status of a miracle man. After all, how did he work for the revival of the state? Nitish Kumar is not a professional manager, he is a politician. When he took over as the Chief Minister of Bihar in November 2005, he frequently reminded the officials that the performance of the government was at stake in his ministry and not in the bureaucracy. If the government succeeds, then all the credit will be given his ministry. If it fails, his ministry will have to own the responsibility. Bureaucrats would not lose their jobs, but he (the Chief Minister) will have to go. Inspite of all this, Nitish Kumar earned a permanent place in the hearts of the people by working towards solving the issues related to the basic needs of the people and he emerged as the pioneer of social revolution. This process of improvement continues unabated. A readable and collectable saga that introduces you to the untold, inspiring, interesting, and adventurous campaigns of the social revolution of Nitish Kumar.
'I shall get power, by hook or crook, but once I have got power I will do good work.'Here is the tale of one of India's most talked-about politicians as never told before, from the acclaimed biographer of Laloo Yadav. A dispassionate unlayering of the complex persona behind Nitish's person: ditherer and gambler, tentative and determined, gullible and astute, effacing and ambitious,introvert and interventionist, loner in the crowds he courts.Part personal diary of Bihar, part hard political portraiture, part unsparing perspective, a seamless weave of contemporary political shenanigans, reportage, storytelling and analysis from a dim corner of the country Nitish Kumar set out to light up. This is as much exploration of his zigzag but focused rise to power and what he means to Bihar as of what he could become on a larger stage.
In less than forty years of its existence, the Bharatiya Janata Party has become the world's largest political party and continues to go from strength to strength in Indian politics. Although its historic rise may seem organic to some, there is much internal deliberation and planning that has aided the growth of this 180-million-member organization. The Architect of the New BJP uses in-depth research and concrete examples to explain how the BJP has transformed over the decades. It reveals lesser-known contributions, like Prime Minister Narendra Modi's experiments with traditional methods of party-building, his keen eye for detail and the different innovative methodologies to expand the party. Ajay Singh not only examines the past of the party, including the vision of its founders, but also provides a glimpse into the future of the party. Based on extensive interviews with many party workers, leaders and observers, this is the story of how the veterans of this cadre-based party, appreciating its limitations, developed a unique Indian model that eventually transformed the BJP into the election-winning machine it is today.
