If PM had quit after Rahul incident, UPA regime would have collapsed: Baru

Answering criticism that he had falsely attempted to show he was very close to the top powers and privy to all goings on, Baru said he had written the facts down "like a reporter". "This is what I saw. I was reporting what I knew. I was a fly on the wall often. The book is a view of the fly on the wall," he said.

Baru also said that Manmohan Sigh has not contacted him after the book's release, and added that he hoped the prime minister writes his autobiography.

The Prime Minister's Office has slammed the book saying it smacks of "fiction" and is a "coloured" view.
