Actor-turned-politician, Makkal Needhi Maiam (MKM) chief Kamal Haasan is currently busy campaigning for the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. The Universal hero held a crucial meeting with the alliance parties on seat-sharing in the polls.

Kamal Haasan chaired a meeting with All India Samathuva Makkal Katchi and Indhiya Jananayaga Katchi on Monday. The party trio came to an opinion on the seat-sharing agreement.

According to the seat-sharing agreement, Makkal Needhi Maiam (MKM) will contest the 154 assembly constituencies, while All India Samathuva Makkal Katchi and Indhiya Jananayaga Katchi will contest 40 seats each. Tamil Nadu has 234 Assembly seats.

In the statement issued, Kamal Haasan's MNM said, these parties have the common goal to transform the state by fulfilling the aspirations of the people that are pending for a long time.

The alliance parties have the agenda of restoring the pride and glory of Tamil Nadu and these parties have decided to start a journey together, the statement adds.

The upcoming Assembly polls mark the second elections for the party after the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. The party lost all the seats it contested and it has managed to attract nearly 4 percent votes.

The party has adopted a unique ticket distribution system where it has launched an online system for people to apply as candidates followed by the interviews of the shortlisted ones to be finally fielded in the election.

Fighting corruption, providing jobs, and developing villages are the prominent promise made by the alliance and the parties are confident of winning the polls with these premises.
