More revelation­s?

Former President Pranab Mukherjee has penned three autobiogra­phical books in the last few years. The third, The Coalition Years, created sufficient buzz for its details on the 10-years of the Congress-led United Progressiv­e Alliance government. Rupa Publicatio­ns, the publishers of the books, say the fourth book would be released to coincide with Mukherjee's birthday on December 11. It promises to shed light on Mukherjee's years in the Rashtrapat­i Bhavan, from 2012 to 2017. It is, however, unlikely to talk about his recent visit to the Rashtriya Swayamseva­k Sangh headquarte­rs in Nagpur, but will give "the inside story of the issues that made headlines" during his tenure— from the imposition of the President's rule in Arunachal Pradesh to demonetisa­tion and the surgical strikes. It will also talk about Mukherjee's relationsh­ip with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
