State police in tizzy after Kunal Kamra says he is in Tamil Nadu
An exclusive scoop on Indian politics.
Welcome to this week’s Powertrip, a political newsletter exclusively curated for TNM and NL subscribers by Dhanya Rajendran, Shabbir Ahmed, Pooja Prasanna, and Nidheesh MK. Comedian Kunal Kamra, who is being hounded by Shiv Sena workers after he stirred a controversy in Mumbai, is giving the Tamil Nadu police sleepless nights after he said that he was in Tamil Nadu. Newly appointed Kerala BJP president Rajeev Chandrasekhar is vastly different from the inherited modest local leadership. We analyse what kind of state party president we can expect him to be. In Tamil Nadu, the battle between the state government and the ED in the TASMAC raids case continues in court.
