New Delhi, Aug 8 : Journalist Neerja Chowdhury on Tuesday, during the release of her new book 'How Prime Minister Decides', said that she initially intended to write on demonetisation however she had to abandon the idea knowing that she would not be able to acquire required information on the subject.

The book launch took place at the Prime Ministers' Museum and Library Society, Teen Murti Bhavan. Kerala Governor Arif Muhammed Khan, who was also a guest during the panel discussion, said that he had been reading the book for the last three days.
