2024: The Election That Surprised India brings to life the inside story of a dramatic period in Indian politics and society. Every twist and turn is revealed in an exciting narrative on the tumultuous events of our times. Unsparing and uncompromising, this is an unputdownable account of power politics, the main characters and their role in influencing the headlines of our times.

nice walk down the political landscape over 10 years, ofcourse it carries some biases and is from a particular point of view but still touches all the key moments and characters, enjoyed the listen and certainly made me aware of things that had perhaps been lost in the noise of daily news.i wish the narrative of rajdeep had a little less hyperbole about it.

excellent summary of the political landscape over the last 10 years
