Chennai: Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan, the founder president of MNM, is poised to contest the Coimbatore Lok Sabha constituency in the upcoming 2024 general elections.

Sources reveal that the DMK is keen on allocating the seat to him, considering his strong performance in the 2021 Assembly polls, where he narrowly lost to BJP‘s Vanathi Sreenivasan by 1,728 votes.

Reaching Out to the People:

Recently, Kamal Haasan inaugurated the state-level ‘Makkalodu Maiam’ campaign in Coimbatore South Assembly constituency.

MNM aims to connect with people in all 234 Assembly constituencies of Tamil Nadu, addressing their grievances at the ward and panchayat levels, including issues overlooked by elected representatives.

Grassroots Engagement for Election Manifesto:

To craft their election manifesto, MNM leadership has devised a unique approach by seeking feedback from people at the grassroots level. Each ward secretary receives a Google Form with 25 binary questions on basic amenities, ensuring a clearer understanding of each constituency’s needs.

Support for Kamal Haasan’s Coimbatore Candidature:

Sources within MNM revealed that Coimbatore district functionaries have already urged Kamal Haasan to contest from the Coimbatore seat in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. His recent gesture of gifting a car to Sharmila, a bus driver from Tamil Nadu, has further endeared him to the region.

This act of kindness not only showcases Kamal Haasan’s empathy but also positions him as a leader who cares deeply for the welfare of the common people.

As the 2024 Lok Sabha elections approach, his popularity and grassroots engagement through the MNM‘s ‘Makkalodu Maiam’ campaign are likely to play a crucial role in shaping the electoral landscape in Tamil Nadu.

With Kamal Haasan’s potential candidature in Coimbatore and MNM’s comprehensive reach-out campaign, the political landscape in Tamil Nadu is set for an intriguing contest.

As MNM engages with the people to shape its election manifesto, Kamal Haasan’s popularity continues to grow, making him a prominent contender in the upcoming elections.
