During the time an "expert" who was close to Gandhi had written a paper for the United Progressive Alliance saying that "Rahul Gandhi should take over and Manmohan Singh should go", Baru said at the event organised by Penguin Books India.
Baru also clarified that nowhere in his book has he said that PMO files were taken to Congress president Sonia Gandhi by the Prime Minister's Principal Secretary Pulok Chatterjee. "I have not said that.. I said that she was briefed, and briefing does not mean showing the files."
"There is a fundamental difference.. to be made aware of policy decisions and to show files, that would be breach of the Official Secrets Act," he added.
