Makkal Needhi Maiyam, the political party founded only recently by the popular super actor Kamalahasan, has come with a very noteworthy and remarkable performance - it has secured the 3rd place in some of the Legislative Assembly Constituencies.
Kamalahasan founded the political party, �Makkal Needhi Maiyam� only in February 2018. Right from the moment when the party was launched, the founder, Kamalahasan had shown a positive inclination with the Congress and the CPM. Hence, it was expected that he would ally with these 2 parties to face the elections. However, as there were no positive responses from these political parties, Kamalahasan announced that MNM would contest the elections alone!
Subsequently, Kamalahasan campaigned in a whole-hearted effort stressing the need for a change! Especially, just before the last 2 days before the campaign conclusion, he broke a TV and recorded it on video and released on Twitter, thus taking up a new mode of the campaign!
Later, during his campaign for the by-election for the assembly constituencies, his statements about Nathram Gode (Mahatma Gandhi�s assassin) created a huge uproar throughout the country. This was construed as may be a setback for Kamalahasan! In the poll estimates, it was remarked that MNM would secure 6% to 9% of the votes.
In this scenario, as at 10.00 PM yesterday (Thursday, 23rd May), as per the counting of votes, MNM has come out with a remarkable performance securing the 3rd place in the list of votes obtained as under:
