An Indian man goes through a copy of "The Accidental Prime Minister: The Making and Unmaking of Manmohan Singh," at a book shop in New Delhi, India, Saturday, April 12, 2014. The new book by the prime minister's former aide has caused a political stir during ongoing national elections by suggesting the outgoing leader was never fully in charge of his government and describes a frustrated Singh as having to compete with Congress Party leader Sonia Gandhi for influence within his own Cabinet. Singh's office slammed the book, saying it "smacks of fiction and colored views of a former adviser" gathered during the first five of Singh's 10 years in office. (AP Photo/Altaf Qadri)
