Congress’s internal debate over CJP
In Karnataka and Telangana, the Congress is shifting from protests to legal action against the alleged misuse of Form 7 to keep the heat on those it suspects of trying to manipulate the electoral rolls.
Hello,
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 Pooja Prasanna.
In this week’s edition, we learnt why the Congress remains divided over whether to support or distance itself from the CJP after the recent protests against the CEC.
What is the strategy behind the Congress pursuing police FIRs and legal action in Karnataka and Telangana over the alleged bulk misuse of Form 7?
Despite potential political benefits from anti-ECI protests, the YSRCP in Andhra Pradesh has chosen to stay neutral and avoid joining either the NDA or the INDIA bloc.
Powertrip is a newsletter that senior political reporters of TNM put together every week.
