Why are Karnataka ministers suddenly visible everywhere?
As talks about the Delimitation Bill resurface, the fact remains that after the women’s reservation bill was defeated in the Lok Sabha in April and the Union government withdrew the delimitation bill, they have not yet tabled the latter in the ongoing Monsoon Session.
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, Pooja Prasanna and Shabbir Ahmed.
In this week’s edition, we uncover why ministers and officials in Karnataka suddenly seem to be visible everywhere, especially on social media. It stems from a directive from CM Shivakumar himself.
The Delimitation Bill is back in the news, but will the Union government risk tabling it in the ongoing Monsoon Session?
A couple of high-profile meetings featuring Rajya Sabha MP and Congress leader Praveen Chakravarty have put the TVK government on the back foot.
Powertrip is a newsletter that senior political reporters of TNM put together every week.
