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, and Pooja Prasanna. We learnt details of the meeting between Amit Shah and Chandrababu Naidu in Delhi on April 22 where the BJP and TDP placed their demands on the table. Where does former TN BJP chief Annamalai feature in this? As an outburst by Tamil Nadu IT Minister PTR in the state assembly raised eyebrows, Powertrip brings you the lowdown. The Congress high command has asked Siddaramaiah to act on the Karnataka caste survey report; we tell you how this might actually work in the CM’s favour.
