Salem Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) leader Kamal Haasan condemned the alleged threat issued by a Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) functionary against his party’s candidate in the local body elections.
Mr.Haasan, in a tweet, said that the MNM candidate, who belonged to a listed community had withdrawn his candidature for Ward 9 in Panamarathupatti Union following the threat. There were no signs of local body elections happening in a fair manner, he added.
Senthil Arumugham, State secretary of MNM, issued a statement condemning the State government and called the incident anti-democratic. He sought police protection for the candidate and his family.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
