DKS to change stance on parks law?
In Tamil Nadu, the Congress has been increasingly angered by statements from TVK leaders and ministers projecting CM Vijay as a potential national leader and, more specifically, as a possible Prime Minister.
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, Shabbir Ahmed and Haritha John.
In this week’s edition, in a major move, Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar is expected to reconsider the controversial law on parks, but not without taking aim at the BJP.
In Tamil Nadu, friction has escalated between the ruling TVK and ally Congress over CM Vijay being projected as a possible Prime Ministerial candidate.
In our next story, the CPI in Kerala has clarified its position after speculation about a possible political realignment after a seeming IUML outreach.
Powertrip is a newsletter that senior political reporters of TNM put together every week.
