Makkal Needhi Maiam founder Kamal Haasan on Thursday released the party’s second list of 51 candidates for the urban local body elections. The polls are yet to be notified.
The list includes the names of 33 candidates for Madurai, 13 for Chennai, 2 for Avadi and 3 for Bodi.
Mr. Haasan had recently released the first list of 47 candidates for the Coimbatore urban local body elections.
The MNM is trying to break the jinx of losing elections and to get into the winning mode by taking up issues concerning the public and Kamal Haasan, according to party insiders, feels that the Urban local body polls are the best time to get a breakthrough.
It may be noted that elections to 21 corporations, 138 municipalities, and 498 town panchayats will be held for Urban local body elections in February 2022 and MNM wants to somehow get electoral victories at least in a minimum of ten seats.
