A DMK huddle in Coorg to discuss debacle
After allies pressed the Congress in the recent INDIA bloc meeting, we heard that there have been internal discussions within the Congress about a national leader reaching out for talks with the DMK.
Welcome to this week’s Powertrip, a political newsletter curated exclusively for subscribers of The News Minute and Newslaundry. This week’s edition is by Dhanya Rajendran, Shabbir Ahmed, and Pooja Prasanna.
In this edition, we spoke to sources about a key discussion among the DMK top brass. There have been talks about a potential reconciliatory approach towards the BJP but not everyone is agreeable.

Next we give you a peek into the Mamata-Kejriwal meeting that happened just before the INDIA bloc gathering.
