When explaining the meaning of his party’s name he said, “People ask me what is this ‘Maiam’? And if I am left or right? That is why I kept the name ‘Maiam’, which means centre.”
The Wednesday launch for Haasan’s party seemed to have been planned quite well. He began the day’s show with a visit to the former President Dr Abdul Kalam Azad’s house in Rameshwaram, to end the finale round of the mega event in Madurai.
Hassan also shared his view about the critical issues where the Tamil politics should focus more and how the south politics are deteriorating with each passing day. He focused his speech on certain political areas and how he intends to lead his people of Tamil Nadu.
He announced at the launch saying, “This is a party for you, for the people. I am your instrument, you are the leaders, this is a crowd full of leaders”.
