Makkal Needhi Maiam chief Kamal Haasan has denied that his outfit is the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s “B team” and asserted that the party was being targeted as they were growing in stature.
Addressing a party rally on Sunday, Haasan, without directly naming any outfit, said he was being targeted as his party was growing in stature. One of the attacks was calling his party "the BJP's B team," he said. Refuting it, he said, "I am not a B team for anyone, this is Tamil Nadu's A team." Days ago, the DMK organ 'Murasoli," had alleged that he was accusing it of corruption due to "BJP's pressure."
Attacking the grand alliance of the opposition parties, Haasan said the so called "mahagathbandhan" would jump on to the winning side after the Lok Sabha poll outcome if the opposite camp won. During such times, only his party would stand upright-without giving room for horse trading-for the Tamil Nadu people, he said.
