Journalist Tavleen Singh has penned yet another political book titled 'Messiah Modi?'. Published by Harper Collins India, Messiah Modi revolves around Prime Minister Narendra Modi's reign. Tavleen Singh was among the few mainstream ‘Delhi’ voices to see the Narendra Modi wave coming in 2014. In Messiah Modi, she details her early support for Modi the candidate, followed by a helpless disenchantment with Modi the PM and the cabinet he headed. She tells the story of his first term as it unfolded.

From lynchings to demonetization up to Article 370, Tavleen Singh gives an intimate account of her subject.

And yet, there is a marked difference between her enthusiasm of 2014 and her acceptance of 2019 as she examines whether Modi delivered on the promises he made in his first term. Is he the messiah so many hoped he would be?
