He, however, said that he would “support any group that would selflessly think about the nation”.

When asked about the discussions with the INDIA bloc on seat-sharing for the Lok Sabha elections, he said that discussions were on.

There were reports of Kamal Haasan’s MNM joining the INDIA bloc and that DMK was willing to allocate him either Coimbatore or Chennai seats. Speculation was rife that the DMK was cutting one seat from the Congress quota and allocating it to Kamal Haasan.
