With Four Prime Ministers
"The book, through a bureaucrat’s journey of eight years under four prime ministers, aims to give the readers a glimpse into the most powerful office in India. It gives a detailed account of the factors involved in the functioning of the PMO while also reflecting the individual contribution of each prime minister to the country." "Jarnail Singh, a 1974 batch IAS officer of the erstwhile Manipur-Tripura cadre. Important positions held by him include Chief Secretary of Manipur (Aug 2004–Jul 2008), Joint Secretary to PM (Aug 1996–Aug 2004) and Secretary to Government of India. Post retirement, he worked as Advisor (Infrastructure and Power) to Chief Minister, Manipur (2012–2017). As Joint Secretary, Jarnail Singh served four Prime Ministers—H.D. Deve Gowda, I.K. Gujral, Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Dr Manmohan Singh—and handled matters relating to various ministries and states. His eight-year-stint in the PMO is among the longest by any officer."
