MNM allows non-members to seek tickets to contest LS polls

Chennai: Makkal Needhi Maiam has announced that non-members can seek party tickets to contest the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Speaking to reporters in Chennai on Tuesday, party president Kamal Haasan said, applications could be procured from February 28 to March 7 at a cost of Rs 10,000 each. This is not just for the party members. But people also should take part. Non-members could also recommend a prospective candidate from a district or zone if they thought the person would become a good MP, he said.





Kamal Haasan said that his party would join hands only with like-minded parties. "We are not going to join hands with those with whom we have differences of opinion. Having such concurrence with allies is very important, that is why we are not hurrying to fix an alliance, Talks are going on with like-minded parties," he said.

When asked if there was a shift in his stand on facing the Parliamentary polls alone, he said, "Earlier we had said if there was a necessity we would contest alone. If there was a circumstance like that of now we would be going alone and we are ready for it."

The party's 'election committee' would review the applications and hold a formal interview at the party's headquarters in Chennai after March 7 to shortlist its candidates.

Earlier this month, the versatile actor-politician said his party would contest all the 39 seats in Tamil Nadu on its own in the Lok Sabha polls. "We are trying to make good for the people with clean hands. We are trying to keep our hands clean by not associating with any of the Dravidian parties," he said.
