MNM district secretaries may get more powers

Kamal Haasan likely to reorganise the party

Makkal Needhi Maiam president Kamal Haasan is likely to reorganise the party in the mould of Dravidian parties where the district secretaries will have more say and be empowered within the organisation. A party source close to Mr. Haasan said the previous party structure of having so many front groups within the organisation headed by district secretaries are likely to be done away with. “Although nothing has been finalised, it is likely that the party is unlikely to have so many general secretaries in the ‘mutated version’ promised by our leader. The organisation’s state and district secretaries will be empowered,” the source said.
