When Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s monthly radio addresses to the nation was compiled into a book, ‘Mann Ki Baat: A Social Revolution on Radio’, last year, the author name read Rajesh Jain, a former aide of Modi. Only it wasn’t him who authored the book.

Speaking to veteran journalist and NDTV’s Managing editor Sreenivasan Jain on his show ‘Reality Check’, former Union Minister and BJP leader Arun Shourie said, “Rajesh Jain had absolutely nothing to do with this book. He is my friend, he told me he was dragged into the (book release) function and given a speech to read.”
