Inside the BJP’s big rejig
Delhi circles are buzzing with speculation that the DMK is likely to join the BJP-led NDA. We spoke to DMK and BJP leaders to understand if there was any truth to the rumours.
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 Pooja Prasanna and Shabbir Ahmed.
In this week’s edition, we identified three things the BJP appears to be signalling with its major rejig; Karnataka features prominently.
Is it really true that arch-rivals DMK and BJP are going to be allies? We spoke to leaders from both parties and realised it isn’t as simple as certain reports that claim an alliance soon.
In our next story, the Congress government in Karnataka appears to be trying to take back two spaces where the BJP has traditionally had an advantage: nationalism and urban governance.
Powertrip is a newsletter that senior political reporters of TNM put together every week.
