The work of MLAs can be reviewed through Right To Information, Kamal Haasan said (File)
Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) chief Kamal Haasan on Friday said that his party candidates have pledged to work for the people of the state.
"Our candidates have given the bond that they will work for people. Our candidates are instruments to serve you and they will not be leaders. They are tourist guides to your constituency who will show you what they have changed," he said.
Kamal Haasan was campaigning in Chennai's Arumbakkam MMDA colony market zone for Anna Nagar assembly constituency for party candidate Pon Raj, who is down with coronavirus.
MNM chief said that Pon Raj is affected with Covid and hospitalised but attended the video conference. It's the digital era now. MNM is a paper-less digital party, he said.
Accusing the other parties of copying his schemes, he said that the announcement made by his party one and half years ago about the housewife wage scheme is being announced by all parties.
"MLA work can be reviewed through Right To Information. You can see yourself how much our MLAs spend. It's not only MGR who asked how much a party spends, we also will be open to show you what we spend," he said.
"We cannot make corruption go away overnight but when leadership is good it will happen. I want to make the administration corruption-free and for it to happen, we have to be given a chance to win. I assure you that we will fulfill our promises for sure," he added.
The Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu will be held in a single phase on April 6 and the counting of votes will be done on May 2.
Polls will be held for 234 seats in the state with the Congress-DMK and BJP-AIADMK alliances being the major groups contesting against each other.
