In an era where politics is often viewed with skepticism, R. S. Rinjot’s new book, Aaj Ka C.M., arrives as a timely and thoughtful reflection on the true meaning of leadership. With the subtitle “Rajneeti Seva Hai, Na Ki Paisa Chhapne Ki Machine,” the book invites readers to reconsider whether politics is meant to serve the people or merely function as a tool for personal gain.
At the heart of Aaj Ka C.M. lies the inspiring story of an ideal teacher who enters public life not with wealth or political backing, but with integrity, public trust, and a commitment to service. Despite holding a government position, this leader succeeds in redirecting funds that were once controlled by officials toward the welfare of ordinary citizens. Remarkably, this transformation is achieved without disrupting governance or weakening the state budget—proving that ethical leadership and financial responsibility can coexist.
The book uses this narrative as a lens to explore a broader question central to modern democracy: What should the role of a Chief Minister truly be? R. S. Rinjot presents the CM not as a ruler, but as a trustee—someone entrusted with the hopes, resources, and future of the people. Through clear analysis and grounded observations, the book examines how the original spirit of political service has, over time, been overshadowed by ambition, profit, and power-centric governance.
However, Aaj Ka C.M. is not written merely as a critique of the system. It is equally a book of vision and possibility. The author outlines the qualities of an ideal Chief Minister—one who listens before ruling, serves before commanding, and prioritizes public welfare over personal ambition. By blending ethical reasoning with practical insight, the book encourages readers to imagine leadership rooted in accountability, transparency, and compassion.
The narrative also speaks directly to citizens, urging them to rethink their own role in a democracy. Leadership, the book suggests, does not operate in isolation; it reflects the values, expectations, and participation of society itself. When people demand integrity and support honest leadership, meaningful change becomes possible.
R. S. Rinjot, the author, brings a strong academic foundation to this work with a Master’s degree in History. His understanding of governance is shaped by historical perspective and a deep interest in the ethical foundations of public life. With a calm, analytical, and constructive approach, he explores how values such as integrity, service, and responsibility can positively shape leadership and institutions. His writing encourages thoughtful engagement rather than confrontation, making the book accessible to readers across diverse backgrounds.
Ultimately, Aaj Ka C.M. is for every reader who believes that politics should uplift society rather than exploit it. It serves as a reminder that true leadership is not measured by power or wealth, but by service to the people. By revisiting the core idea that politics is a responsibility—not a business—the book offers a hopeful vision of governance guided by purpose, ethics, and public trust.
