Kamal to announce party name on February 21; to begin state tour from Ramanathapuram
Kamal will begin his tour of the state from his home town of Ramanathapuram on February 21…
Contrary to many media reports that claimed that Kamal Haasan would undertake a tour of the state from January 26, the actor has said that he will tour the state from February 21 and that he will begin the tour from his home town of Ramanathapuram.
More importantly, he has said that he will announce his party’s name when he commences the tour.
In a statement issued to the media late last night, Kamal said, “I have immense gratitude to the people of TN who have given me everything. However, “gratitude” by itself is not adequate and the love and affection I have for them needs to be manifested in action and in deed. Further, there is true power in finding one’s purpose in life and mine is to challenge the status quo that has been plaguing the politics of Tamil Nadu for some time now. However, for this to happen, my thoughts and actions need to collectively resonate with the people. Therefore, as a follow up to the above and as hinted in the press conference of November 17, I intend to embark on a journey across the state from February 21, 2018 to truly understand as to what the needs of my people are?What is afflicting them?, what are their aspirations? “
He went on to add, “Further, this momentous journey of meeting people across Tamil Nadu is neither an act of rebellion nor is it a gathering for glamour. Simply put, this is a journey of discovery and learning and an opportunity for me to truly understand my people. Futhermore, this is planned and executed in phases and over a period of time. In addition, I believe it will be truly appropriate if my political journey commences from the place of my birth and hometown Ramanathapuram.”
The actor said that after he commences his tour from Ramanathapuram, he intends to meet and spend time with the people from the districts of Madurai, Dindigul and Sivagangai.
“At the commencement of the journey, I intend to announce the name of my political party along with the guiding principles we intend to live by,” the actor announced and urged people to question mediocrity and raise the bar on governance and welfare for the people of TN.
