Haasan will disappear after polls, says Raju

Madurai

Refuting MNM president Kamal Haasan’s statement during his recent poll campaign in the southern region, Minister for Information and Publicity Kadambur C Raju said Tamil Nadu is progressing in all fronts and Kamal would disappear after the next polls to Assembly constituencies in Tamil Nadu. The MNM’s vote bank would suffer a fall as his words were meaningless and baseless.

Talking to reporters in Kovilpatti, Thoothukudi district on Saturday, he said Kamal himself was not clear in what he’s trying to say to the people. Since Tamil Nadu is reputed to be more progressive, Kamal managed to develop himself and reached heights in the film industry. Citing these, he said Tamil Nadu serves as an exemplary model to other states in whole of India. Kamal exemplified the state of Kerala, where second wave of COVID broke out now, but it was not case in Tamil Nadu. Further, the minister said no active farmer is affected by the Farm Bills 2020 and the farmers protest was being instigated by middlemen, who are opposing the move.
