Last evening came with an interesting dose of socio-political dialogue as Manish Tewari, the national spokesperson of the Congress, was in the city for the launch of his new book, Decoding a Decade: The Politics of Policymaking (Vitasta Publishing). In a conversation with writer-columnist Anil Dharker at a packed house, Tewari opened up about the wide-ranging subjects he has covered in the title, which is a collection of his columns for various publications spanning a decade.
