Ra-ra book on Modi soon

There's going to be book on Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi soon!
The book is by MV Kamath and Kalindi Randeri and published by Rupa.

This is what the advance information sheet sent by the publisher says:
When an astrologer predicted that narendra could either be a ‘sanyasi’ or an ‘emperor’, nobody knew the extent to which it would turn out to be true. Narendra modi is one of the most misunderstood chief ministers that India has seen ever since independence. This book is an attempt to unravel the ‘other side’ of him. He has gained back the confidence that some people had lost in him, following the brutal incineration of fifty-eight innocent victims in the Sabarmati Express train near Godhra, by making sincere and innovative efforts to become one with the people and by toiling for the upliftment of the state. Not only is Gujarat’s progress Modi’s onward motion, but vice versa too. Gujarat’s progress under the leadership of Modi:
• Within half-a-decade, the state has become India’s number one industrial state.
• The Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors’ Summits have given Gujarat many a good deals and has brought together many investors from all across the globe.
• The kite makers are ecstatic because of Uttarayan, the famous annual kite festival which is a source of income as well as a tourist attraction.
• Ratan Tata’s dream project, the Nano, will now roll out of Gujarat.
• By channelising government revenue and making the administration transparent, Narendra Modi has become the man of, by and for the masses.

Well, look forward to some serious PR work. And hope the bit about never becoming emperor comes true at least!
