Actor turned politician Kamal Haasan visited the ancestral home of late President APJ Abdul Kalam. He will travel to Tamil Nadu’s Rameswaram and then he will launch his political party by flying its flag to Madurai which is more than 150km away. Chief Minister of National capital Delhi, Aravind Kejriwal will meet him in Madurai at 6 pm.
Kamal Haasan had also visited the residence of Superstar Rajinikanth on 21st February. He has been meeting with different leaders ahead of the scheduled time of launch of his party. The visit had lasted only fifteen minutes and the actor turned politician told the media that nothing political was discussed and that it was a meeting of friends.
He said that Rajinikanth was invited by him on 21st February for the launch of his political party. A public meeting has been scheduled on that day which is one of the four days covering the party launch. When media asked him the answer of Rajinikanth, he said that it was ultimately Rajinikanth’s decision to come or not.
It does not seem that both superstars will join hands for contesting elections. When Rajinikanth was asked about the meeting, he indicated that there was no immediate plan for both of the superstars to join their outfit. Referring to the cinemas, Rajinikanth said that style of both were different. He said that in politics also, his style will be different from Kamal Haasan. He added that the aim of his outfit was to do good for the people. He said that his style will be different from Kamal Haasan but their goal will same, development of people.
According to one source, there are many intellectuals, anti-corruption groups and activists were invited to the ceremony. It is very less likely that any other leader apart from Kamal Haasan will not be projected as the second leader. The party is said to be of Dravidian flavor and it has been inspired by the anti-corruption movement and Aam Aadmi Party. The party will do not have Kazhagam or Dravida word in its name. The designs have already been selected for the flag and simple two or three colors have been selected.
The right-wing groups have been criticizing the move of Kamal Haasan of visiting the Kalam’s school. They said that he has been trying to score political points as when Kalam was alive, he had met with him only once and that too accidentally on a flight. The scheduled meeting with the children may be moved to some alternative place.
The road show before the launch of the political outfit will start from the residence of Abdul Kalam and it will circulate Madurai before Kamal Haasan will give a speech to the crowd. The residence of Late President APJ Abdul Kalam in Rameswaram will be visited by the actor turned politician. The reports predict more than ten thousand people gathering at the ceremony.
