His new book Jugalbandi: The BJP before Modi is a biography of the movement which led Vajpayee and Advani to power in New Delhi.

Vinay Sitapati: Before I answer a question, a lot of people think the BJP wins because it gets corporate money. So the argument I make through the book is the BJP doesn’t win because it’s a majoritarian idea, because yes, Hindus are a majority.
