Why Makkal Needhi Maiam?
All over the world, the Right and the Left have, in their own exceptional and explicit ways, defamed the entire political structure; the Rightists, by mirroring individualistic political thoughts and the Leftists, by faulty individual actions which came crumbling down on the political system – or the lack of it. Between these two poles, ‘Politics for the People’ took a back seat and declined in terms of quality, ending up totally worthless.
The word ‘Progress’ lost all its meaning, consequential to the lack of transparency, the alarming rise of the corruption graph, the inefficient disposition of our politicians and their ‘norm’ of under-the-table transactions to discharge their basic responsibilities. Progress stands redemption less, like an overwritten bad debt. These barriers had to be shattered. The need for a new ideology emerged and Mr. Kamal Haasan donned the robe of change and at the moment, only Mr. Kamal Haasan is capable of bringing about a valid and progressive change in the political dynamics.
Founding Principles: The founding principles of Makkal Needhi Maiam are a visionary set of simple ideas. The core objective of the party is to guide the people towards a higher social and economic standing, making this the single focus of the organization. MNM looks into the issues of the people neither from a leftist perspective nor from a rightist perspective. The idea is to identify the root cause of the issues and offer feasible solutions that completely thwart all the difficulties faced by the people.
A government for the people essentially means a government by the people; a government that prides itself for the active contribution from its people. The future of Thamizh Nadu should be an ideal ‘state’ where the needs and rights of the people face no opposition from any dimension. An ideal Tamizh Nadu means an ideal situation, where the needs and the rights of the entire State get fulfilled by its own sufficiency.
