Kamal hits back, terms Mahendran’s move as ‘a weed removing itself’
Top office-bearers of actor-politician Kamal Haasan’s Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM), including its vice-president R. Mahendran tendered their resignations on Thursday, days after the party’s rout in the Assembly election. Mr. Mahendran accused Mr. Haasan of not changing his approach towards the party and its cadre even after the electoral defeat. He also accused election management company, Sankhya Solutions, of creating blocks between Mr. Haasan, the office-bearers and the party cadre. Mr. Haasan hit back at Mr. Mahendran, terming his leaving the party as “a weed removing itself”. He said the vice-president had quit, knowing full well that he was going to be sacked and was trying to gain sympathy by blaming others.
