With the ruling DMK looking to accommodate more parties in its alliance in Tamil Nadu, Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) founder and Rajya Sabha MP Kamal Haasan is reportedly in direct talks with the Dravidian party regarding seat allocation for the upcoming Assembly elections in the State.
Second-rung leaders, however, told The Hindu that they have “not been involved”, so far, in the discussions with the DMK, but added that the party would “surely” contest the upcoming Assembly elections.
