Actor-politician Kamal Haasan's Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) today released its manifesto for the upcoming state Assembly polls, promising to turn Tamil Nadu into a $ 1 trillion economy over the next ten years and with a generous outlook for the educational sector. The state GDP currently amounts to around $300 billion. The less than-three-year-old party is looking to make a mark in the state's largely bipolar politics, though the actor himself is contesting from Coimbatore South, facing the Congress and the BJP as key rivals and not the state's main parties, the DMK and the AIADMK, directly.
