Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM), the political party founded by actor-politician Kamal Haasan, has decided not to contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha (LS) election and instead support the DMK, a prominent political force in Tamil Nadu.
While speaking to reporters at Chennai airport, the MNM chief, referring to preparations for the parliamentary polls, anticipated a "good opportunity" adding that the election works are going well.
"There is no technician and proper equipment to clear the oil spill just they are using buckets with the help of fishermen to clean the mess," actor and Makkal Needhi Maiam President Kamal Haasan said on Sunday.
Tamil Nadu Sports Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin on Saturday said the DMK party leaders will decide at the time of the elections whether the party will form an alliance with actor and Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) chief Kamal Haasan.
‘A landmark day in the history of our Republic’, said actor and Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) chief Kamal Haasan applauding the new Women Reservation Bill tabled in Parliament on Tuesday.
Makkal Needhi Maiam chief Kamal Haasan on Saturday called upon the opposition parties, which have given a call for boycotting the new Parliament building's inauguration on May 28, to reconsider their decision and make the event an "occasion of national unity".
Amid the buzz over Makkal Needhi Maiam's (MNM) probable alliance with DMK, actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan said that one should not jump to the climax rather the story (of any alliance in elections) should move scene by scene.
"My important political opponent is caste. I am not saying this today for the first time, I also said this when I was 21 years old. But now I am matured enough to express the same thoughts with good words," he said at the event.
Kamal Haasan on Wednesday informed that his party Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) will lend support to the Congress candidate in the Erode East bye-election.
