In an effort to strengthen his Makkal Needhi Maiam ahead of the 2021 Tamil Nadu assembly elections, actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan on Wednesday announced new general secretaries and zonal heads to steer the his outfit at the grass roots level.
Haasan, who led his fledgling MNM to a vote share of 3.72 per cent in the recent Lok Sabha elections, renamed the incumbent general secretary A Arunachalam as general secretary for coordination "to further strengthen the party at the booth level in all constituencies across Tamil Nadu."
The actor turned politician said his party contested the recent elections when it was just 14 months old on the strength of its ideals and people "gave the party an over whelming response."
