Liquor baron, secret meetings: When RSS ignored BJP, helped Congress win election

After Indira Gandhi's assassination, Rajiv Gandhi reportedly had a secret meeting with then RSS chief Balasaheb Deoras, resulting in its cadre supporting the Congress in the 1984 Lok Sabha elections despite the BJP's presence. There were at least six secret meetings between Sangh members and the party, including one at the residence of liquor baron Kapil Mohan. The Congress registered the biggest-ever Lok Sabha election victory.

Bison review: Mari Selvaraj's rage finds new playground with Dhruv Vikram

Release Date:Fri Oct 17, 2025

Bison Kaalamaadan movie review: Director Mari Selvaraj's 'Bison Kaalamaadan', starring Dhruv Vikram, Pasupathy, Lal and Ameer, is a solid sports drama set against the backdrop of village and caste politics. With brilliant performances and a hard-hitting commentary, the film is yet another worthy addition to Mari Selvaraj's filmography.
