In this week’s Powertrip, a political newsletter exclusively curated for TNM and NL subscribers by Dhanya Rajendran, Shabbir Ahmed, Pooja Prasanna, and Nidheesh MK, we look into the political fallout of a secret meeting between a senior Kerala cop and an RSS leader. We also look into the swirling rumours of the defection of a senior Congress leader in Kerala to the BJP. And why did Sakshi Malik sit out the political entry – we too wondered the same thing you did. So we asked some people and got some answers. We also look at the DMK’s Anbil Mahesh-sized problem.
