MNM not BJP's "B Team," it is TN's A team: Kamal Haasan

Rejecting the claim that his party was BJP's "B team," Makkal Needhi Maiam chief Kamal Haasan said it was being targeted as they were growing in stature.

Addressing a party rally here late Sunday night, Haasan, without directly naming any outfit, said he was being targeted as his party was growing in stature.

One of the attacks was calling his party "the BJP's B team," he said.

Refuting it, he said,"I am not a B team for anyone, this is Tamil Nadu's A team."
Days ago, the DMK organ 'Murasoli," had alleged that he was accusing it of corruption due to "BJP's pressure."
On a sword being gifted to him, he said it was an old practise, adding only "ahimsa is a big valour."
Outlining his party's principles, he said: "People's welfare alone is MNM's ideology."
