APJ Abdul Kalam’s assistant Ponraj joins Kamal Haasan’s Makkal Needhi Maiam

Former President of India and the country’s most influential personality in the past few decades the late APJ Abdul Kalam’s aide Ponraj has joined the Makkal Needhi Maiam party led by Kamal Haasan.  He has immediately been posted as the party’s vice president.

Ponraj stated that the BJP led government prevented him from registering a party in Kalam’s name and hence he accepted Kamal’s invitation and joined his party.  The former assistant and scientific advisor of the late President of India said he was with Rajinikanth for the past three years formulating plans to redeem Tamil Nadu from its current situation and since the Superstar could not enter politics due to his health he accepted Kamal’s call.

Ponraj has promised that he would take forward the dream of APJ Abdul Kalam to empower the youth of the state.  He recalled that once Kalam and Kamal traveled in a train from Cochin to Chennai and they both were speaking for the entire stretch of the journey.  

Ponraj shared that Kalam told him that he invited Kamal to enter politics at that time but he did not do it at that time but now he has done it.  He further added that Kamal is the leader who follows the vision of Kalam and even started his political journey from his house and he is hopeful of fulfilling the late visionary’s dream.
