Kamal Haasan to launch political party in Madurai tomorrow, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal among guests

National Award winning actor Kamal Haasan will launch his political party in Tamil Nadu’s Madurai on Wednesday. 

In a tweet, Haasan said that, ‘I will explain the name of the new party and the essence of our policy.’

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is likely to attend the event. ‘I am entering politics only because the ruling AIADMK party is bad, that is why I am not meeting any of them,’ Haasan was quoted as saying by the news agency ANI. 

On January 17, Haasan had written an open letter on his political plans. "As hinted in the press conference of November 2017, I intend to embark on a journey across the state from February 21, 2018, to truly understand the needs of my people, what is afflicting them and what their aspirations are. Further, this momentous journey of meeting people across Tamil Nadu is neither an act of rebellion nor is it a gathering for glamour; this is a journey of discovery and learning and an opportunity for me to truly understand my people," the letter written by him read.

On this tour, which will be flagged off from his hometown of Ramanathapuram, Kamal Haasan will be proceeding to the districts of Madurai, Dindigul and Sivagangai, where he will be interacting with locals.
