Pranab Mukherjee, in what is perhaps his most candid articulation of views on Singh, opens up about the former PM in his latest book 'The Coalition Years'
What foreign investors need is certainty in tax laws and not a tax-free environment, the former President and finance minister argues to justify his controversial tax decision.
Pranab Mukherjee is the ‘Bhishma Pitamah’ of Indian public life. The third volume of his political memoir is self-serving, hides too much and uses uncharacteristic innuendo.
It is unusual for the President of India to promote or take part in the promotion of government schemes anywhere in the country. But when it comes to the constituency of his son, the current President seems to have made an exception.
