Tamil Nadu politics is going through a major shift.

For decades, the DMK and AIADMK dominated the state’s political landscape. But Vijay’s entry through TVK is beginning to disrupt that balance.

As AIADMK MLAs resign and move toward TVK, conversations around “horse trading” have entered Tamil Nadu politics in a big way. But what exactly is horse trading? How do political defections work in India? And why does every party desperately want MLAs?

In this episode of Let Me Explain, Pooja Prasanna breaks down the history of political defections in India, the Anti-Defection Law, Karnataka’s Operation Kamala and why Tamil Nadu may be entering a completely new political phase.

For years, India’s economy was projected as one of the world’s fastest-growing success stories. But long before the Iran-Israel-US war pushed oil prices higher, warning signs had already begun to appear - falling wages, weak demand, slowing exports, struggling MSMEs, and a weakening rupee.

So did the war trigger India’s economic stress? Or did it simply expose deeper problems that were already building beneath the surface?

In this episode of Let Me Explain, Pooja Prasanna breaks down why economists are worried about India’s economy, what the falling rupee and rising fuel prices really mean, and whether India’s growth story is becoming increasingly fragile.
