Why Cong leaders took on Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw in Karnataka
The BJP is restless as AIADMK is keen on an alliance with Vijay’s TVK.
Welcome to this week’s Powertrip, a political newsletter exclusively curated for TNM and NL subscribers by Dhanya Rajendran, Shabbir Ahmed, Anisha Sheth, and Maria Teresa Raju
In this edition, we look at BJP’s growing impatience with EPS and AIADMK’s quiet courtship of Vijay’s TVK; Karnataka ministers’ unusually sharp rebuke of Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw and the Congress’s united front against the RSS; and Kerala’s reluctant acceptance of the Union government’s PM Shri scheme. Read the full newsletter for all the details.
Two weeks ago, we told you the AIADMK’s plan for TVK and how they are looking at a Chandrababu Naidu-Pawan Kalyan type of equation. Things have become clearer now.
