There should be a book on the life of Brijesh Mishra

[@durgeshsingh5220]

When UPA came to power and Manmohan Singh told brijesh Mishra to continue with the post of Principal Secretary in the UPA era too , he humbly but firmly said " Sorry Sir but I work only for my boss( Vajpayee) and he is no longer in office . I won't be able to continue further as well. "

Credit for Pokharan goes to Narasimha Rao. Everything was ready when Vajpayee took charge. What about corruptin charges?

There is difference between readiness and action, even our airforce was also ready after 26/11
