The polls for the nine newly created districts in the state is set to be held in two phases on October 6 and 9."Makkal Needhi Maiyam will contest alone in local body elections. I am going to campaign in all nine districts. Let's meet in the ground. Victory is ours," tweeted Haasan.
Earlier on Wednesday, AIADMK's ally in the assembly polls, PMK, also decided to contest independently in the local body elections.
The MNM had formed an alliance with All India Samathuva Makkal Katchi (AISMK) and Indhiya Jananayaga Katchi (IJK) in the recently held assembly polls. However, the alliance failed to make the mark. Following this, rumours of MNM joining another alliance were being discussed. However, the party has now decided to work without an ally. Earlier on Wednesday, AIADMK's assembly polls ally PMK also announced their decision to contest independently in the upcoming Tamil Nadu local body polls.
