NDTV executive editor, Nidhi Razdan (holding the book), tweets this picture with her colleagues and the channel's co-founder Prannoy Roy, (peeking cheekily behind his team), saying, "Its here ! The "launch" of @PrannoyRoyNDTVs book The Verdict. Order here (the Amazon link)." 


The book co-authored with psephologist  Dorab Sopariwalla, talks about the Indian elections. The Amazon description of the book says: "What are the key factors that win or lose elections in India.  What does, or does not, make India's democracy tick? Is this the end of anti-incumbency? Are opinion polls and exit polls reliable? How pervasive is the 'fear factor'? Does the Indian woman's vote matter? Does the selection of candidates impact results? Are elections becoming more democratic or less so? Can electronic voting machines (EVMs) be fiddled with? Can Indian elections be called 'a jugaad system'?Published on the eve of India's next general elections, The Verdict will use rigorous psephology, original research and as-yet-undisclosed facts to talk about the entire span of India's electoral history from the first elections in 1952. Crucially, for 2019, it provides pointers to look out for, to see if the incumbent government will win or lose. Written by Prannoy Roy, renowned for his knack of demystifying electoral politics, and Dorab R. Sopariwala, this book will be compulsory reading for anyone interested in politics and elections in India."
The book is priced at Rs 419. 

The image tweeted by Nidhi Razdan is the key to the way India's most respected news channel is run with the boss taking a step back and allowing his team to shine.
