MNM not BJP’s “B Team,” it is TN’s A team: Kamal Haasan

Tirunelveli(TN): Rejecting the claim that his party was BJP’s “B team,” Makkal Needhi Maiam chief Kamal Haasan said it was being targeted as they were growing in stature.
Addressing a party rally here late Sunday night, Haasan, without directly naming any outfit, said he was being targeted as his party was growing in stature.
One of the attacks was calling his party “the BJP’s B team,” he said. Refuting it, he said, “I am not a B team for anyone, this is Tamil Nadu’s A team.”
Days ago, the DMK organ ‘Murasoli,” had alleged that he was accusing it of corruption due to “BJP’s pressure.”
Attacking the grand alliance of the opposition parties, Haasan said the partners of the so-called “mahaghatbandhan” would jump on to the winning side after the Lok Sabha poll outcome if the opposite camp won.
During such times, only his party would stand upright -without giving room for horse trading- for the Tamil Nadu people, he said. His party’s voice will be heard in such a situation, he said, adding “we cannot say what is going to happen,” an apparent reference to the Lok Sabha poll outcome.
“Let us see if there is humility if another person takes over,” he said in an attack perceived to be aimed at the BJP. He said he was not facing the Lok Sabha election alone and pointed to the huge crowd and sought donations from them to face the polls. “It will be an investment for the future,” he said.
Describing himself as a fan of Mahatma Gandhi, he said the Father of the Nation was his mentor and because of him he founded the party.
Outlining his party’s principles, he said: “People’s welfare alone is MNM’s ideology.”
