Extending his full support for the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections 2024, Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) chief Kamal Haasan on Saturday announced his party’s ally with MK Stalin-led Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK).

“Joined the DMK-led alliance for the sake of the country, not with any consideration for the post,” MNM founder Kamal Haasan said while addressing media. The DMK has allotted one seat to MNM for the 2025 Rajya Sabha elections.

He further added, “Good news won’t come soon.” Adding, “When it comes, I will reveal. Discussion is still underway. As soon as the decision is taken, I won't be able to escape without telling you all. It's my duty to inform you when it's decided," Kamal Haasan said.
The statement has come after agreement between Anna Arivalayam, with Kamal Hassan and DMK chief minister MK Stalin at the party headquarters. 

Haasan also attacked the national government for persistently ignoring Tamil Nadu's requirements. 

He also criticized the people who are not voting during election terming it as the defeat of democracy. 

It is worth to be noted that the announcement from the veteran actor has come amid speculations that MNM will join the Congress-led opposition coalition and will contest one seat from Tamil Nadu. Earlier in September, Tamil Nadu minister Udhayanidhi Stalin hinted at the party's ally.
