DKS’s Soft-Hindutva bet and Vijay-Ajith meet soon?
Karnataka CM DKS is set to take a Sankalpa unveiling a 500-day roadmap, a calculated soft-Hindutva play, even as TN CM Vijay is likely to travel to Silverstone this weekend to watch Ajith Kumar race.
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 tell you why the Congress high command has no intention of intervening in the Tamil Nadu face off between DMK and TVK. From Karnataka, it’s on a vow that DKS is set to take soon on his 100th day of power and it has a soft Hindutva angle to it. Tamil Nadu meanwhile may witness an Ajith-Vijay meeting in London soon.
Powertrip is a newsletter that senior political reporters of TNM put together every week.
