Passionate Kamal strikes a chord
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,February 22 2018]
Much to the merriment and rejoicing of his supporters, Kamal Haasan on Wednesday launched his party by hoisting a flag and announcing the party's name as Makkal Needhi Maiam, which literally translates to People's Justice Party.
Kamal started off his speech by greeting the masses and giving a special mention to the important office holders of his party. Acknowledging their hard work for over three decades of hard work for society through welfare clubs, Kamal also brought to the audience's attention why the leap into politics was essential.
Kamal also expressed his gratitude to Arvind Kejriwal stating that the latter had helped kick-start his campaign already. He also recalled how Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu's words of encouragement helped him. Further Kamal also strongly stressed he wasn't a leader, but rather a cadre, fellow party member, a mere representative and tool to enable people's welfare.
Quality education to all, the abolition of caste and corruption were some of the key goals he pointed out towards which his party will work. He also said he will not give way to bribe people with money for votes and advised the people against it as well. Other key areas that Kamal's discourse gave importance was employment to youngsters, adoption of villages and even resolving the Cauvery Water issue, stating that any problem could be solved with the right talk and approach.
Furthermore, the Universal Star also explained the meaning behind his party symbol. The six hands denote the six south Indian states, while the center star denotes the people. Thus, his party is one which doesn't lean right or left politically but vested in people's welfare as the center spot.
Kamal also strongly impressed upon the audience the fact that how privatizing education sector has ended up reducing its quality as much as taking control of liquor which could be done by anybody.
