According to the reports, the popular Tamil actor Kamal Hassan with the support of the DMK Party may contest in the Coimbatore constituency.
The big news coming out is that the Tamil Superstar and popular actor Kamal Hassan may contest the Coimbatore constituency in the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Through the sources of MNM (Makkal Needhi Maiam), it’s almost confirmed that DMK is interested to make an alliance with MNM. Considering the performance of Kamal Hassan in the 2021 Lok Sabha election DMK has shown interest to allocate the Coimbatore seat to Kamal Hassan.
In the previous 2021 general election, Kamal Hassan lost to BJP’s Vanathi Sreenivasan by a slim margin of 1,728 votes so this year the winning margin of Kamal Hassan may have the upper hand.
On Sunday in the Coimbatore South Assembly constituency, Kamal Hassan inaugurated the state-level reach-out campaign program of MNM called ‘Makkalodu Maiam’. The leaders of the MNM will visit and overlook the ward and panchayat levels and also the 234 assembly constituencies of Tamil Nadu to learn and understand the difficulties faced by the people. The party is planning to make the election manifesto based on feedback from people at the grassroots level.
The MNM party said that a list of 25 binary questions on basic amenities will be given to each ward secretary in a Google forum and it will be evaluated. The feedback will be used by the party to study and also to get a clear picture of each constituency. The MNM party officials of Coimbatore have requested Kamal Hassan to participate from Coimbatore in the 2024 General election.
