Naveen Patnaik is hard to match and will be a key figure in the 2019 elections, says a new book which seeks to decode the success of the Odisha chief minister and Biju Janata Dal boss.

If he wins in 2019, he will scale further heights and become a far bigger political phenomenon. If he loses, he will still remain a phenomenon, hard to emulate, the author says.
