Kolkata, Mar 25 (UNI) Makkal Needhi Maiam founder and renowned cinestar Kamal Haasan on Monday met West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

"Our relationship with the honourable CM is quite old and I am coming to take my best wishes from her like last time," Haasan told reporters following his arrival in the city.

After meeting Ms Banerjee at the State Secretariat building, Nabanna,Mr Haasan said, “Meeting was excellent. We are proud to say that Makkal Needhi Maiam is an ally of the TMC in Andaman. We hope this relation evolves in future. I'm going to campaign for their candidate in Andaman."

"I have a small regional party. Came here to take blessings from her (Mamata Banerjee)," he said.

He had announced that his party will contest 40 seats for the polls.

On Sunday Haasan said neither would he contest the coming Lok Sabha elections or the Assembly polls.

The Makkal Needhi Maiam founder had earlier said his meeting with the Trinamool Congress chief will be of a "political nature", but remained cryptic about what will be discussed.
