Today marks a proud milestone for us – our 100th edition! Two years ago, we asked ourselves: what can we offer our subscribers that plays to our strengths as political journalists? Powertrip was our answer. Between Pooja, Shabbirand me, we’ve spent years reporting on politics, tracking power corridors, and speaking to bureaucrats and politicians. The challenge was always this — how do we offer real value without slipping into gossip?
Across these 100 editions, we have consistently tapped our sources to bring you exclusive stories and insights. (After a few editions, journalist Nidheesh MKwho is based out of Kerala, started contributing to Powertrip). From Modi’s strategic cabinet reshuffles in the Rajya Sabha to the PIB’s controversial directive to scientists regarding the Wayanad landslide, we have broken significant news. But more than just scoops, Powertrip has been our effort to enrich your understanding of the political forces that shape your life.
If Powertrip has been a valuable read for you, please consider forwarding this to a friend, relative or colleague and encourage them to subscribe.
In this week’s edition, we delve into the BBC’s firm response to the Indian government’s objection to their reporting style on terrorism – a situation that looks set to escalate. We also have exclusive information on the Enforcement Directorate’s attempts to initiate a case against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin’s son-in-law, Sabarisan, and the compelling reasons why Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah might order a recount of the contentious caste census.
