“One corrupt party should not be replaced by another,” the MNM president said while campaigning in Udhagamandalam
Using the sewage-filled Coonoor River as an analogy to the current state of governance in Tamil Nadu, Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) founder, Kamal Haasan, said the stench from the river was indicative of the issues plaguing the State. Speaking at a rally endorsing the MNM candidate in Coonoor, H.B. Rajakumar, Mr. Haasan said that despite the Nilgiris being a tourist destination, it was being neglected. “As we speak, we can smell the stench from the river. This is the state of Tamil Nadu at the moment. Moreover, this is a tourist destination… we can take videos of this place, but we can’t smell it [through videos],” said Mr. Haasan.
