Actor Kamal Haasan’s Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM), which was not invited to the meeting of Opposition parties in Bengaluru, is undecided on joining a coalition, despite its “close relations” with the Congress.
Mr. Haasan supported the Congress on key issues, walked long Rahul Gandhi in his Bharat Jodo Yatra and participated in the swearing-in of Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Against this backdrop, Mr. Haasan was expected to take part at the Bengaluru meeting wherein 26 Opposition parties formally named their alliance I.N.D.I.A.
