How To Buy An Indian Election

This explosive and controversial book is exactly what it says ‘How to buy an Indian Election’. Books relating to contemporary politics of India are usually penned by journalists or political observers, whereas politicians write about socio-economics, history, or even theology. Rarely do politicians write a book about the contemporary politics of India. In many ways, Karthik Reddy has turned on his own kind politicians by being critical and upfront about the present-day Indian polity. How to buy Indian Election describes the influence of ‘Money’ in Indian Elections, making the book first of its kind. Never has there been a book that could throw light on the underbelly of politicians and how they get elected. Why would Mahatma Gandhi lose an election? How more rich businessmen are entering into politics? How political parties of the country are for this situation? And why? How effective is the Election Commission of India in curbing the atrocious spending in Indian polls? Is there a solution? The author tackles many such questions addressed in the book, deriving from political experience.
