Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) boss Kamal Haasan hinted on Tuesday that he is open to a political alliance with actor Rajinikanth, who is ready to make his political debut in the assembly polls scheduled for next year in Tamil Nadu.
Speaking to reporters, Haasan said that if there are no ideological differences between them, his party is ready to “cooperate.” “Political change is necessary. We are just a phone call away. If our ideology is similar and if it would benefit the people, we are willing to put aside our egos and cooperate with each other, ”he said.
Ever since Rajinikanth announced that his party will participate in the upcoming Tamil Nadu elections, he has been receiving bouquets of flowers and bricks from the state’s political fraternity.
Earlier this month, AIADMK coordinator and Tamil Nadu Senior Deputy Minister O Panneerselvam also expressed willingness to join the actor’s party.
“We welcome the decision of the great film actor Rajinikanth to enter politics. Anything can happen in politics. If there is an opportunity, an alliance (with Rajinikanth) will be formed, ”he said. Meanwhile, AIADMK has confirmed that they will continue their alliance with BJP for the next assembly elections.
Rajinikanth will reveal the name of his political party on December 31.
In a statement, he had said: “Everything is destiny. This election is to change the destiny of Tamil Nadu … If I win, it will be a victory for the people, and if I fail, it belongs to them too … I will change everything, everything! “
The Tamil superstar fueled speculation about his party’s leanings by introducing Ra Arjunamurthy, former chairman of the intellectual wing of the BJP state unit, as the lead coordinator of his fans’ association. Arjunamurthy was relieved of his post earlier.
In 2017, Rajinikanth had announced that his party would compete on its own. Now that he’s actually throwing the party, it seems possible that he won’t be forming an alliance in 2021 either.
