Actor and Makkal Needhi Maiam President Kamal Haasan today greeted H D Kumaraswamy on his taking over as Chief Minister of Karnataka.
"I thank the CM of Karnataka @hd_kumaraswamy for inviting me.
Hearty congratulations to the new Govt. It's a good starting point for a dialogue between our states," Haasan said in a tweet after calling on Kumaraswamy at Vidhan Soudha, the state secretariat.
