MNM leader wants to end corruptionMakkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) founder Kamal Haasan on Tuesday said he was able to see a political awakening among the people in the State. Seeking an opportunity to eradicate corruption in governance, Mr. Haasan, campaigning in Nagapattinam, promised computers and internet connectivity to every household if voted to power in the 2021 Assembly election. Tamil Nadu had the dubious distinction of being a front-ranking State in crime against women, lock-up deaths and opening of liquor shops, he claimed. Mr. Haasan said a section of political leaders taunting his film background did not seem to realise that they were mocking the founding leaders of their own parties. While he did not expect any response from rival political leaders for his revelation about the bribe rate card, the absence of decorum was conspicuously felt in their political speeches.
