The Tamil Nadu bureaucracy seems to have made strong efforts to convince Tamil Nadu CM Vijay not to cancel the Parandur airport project, but they did not succeed.
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 and Shabbir Ahmed.
In this week’s edition, we tell you why the MEA hastily put a stop to Telangana CM Revanth Reddy’s visit to the US. And it was not because of Mamdani.
Our next story is about how new Tamil Nadu CM Joseph Vijay stayed firm despite several attempts to convince him otherwise and scrapped the airport project in Parandur.
Powertrip is a newsletter that senior political reporters of TNM put together every week.
For those who can’t access the full newsletter, get a subscription and read every Tuesday.
