Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) chief and actor Kamal Haasan unveiled his party's manifesto in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, on Friday and promised income for housewives by developing their skills. By initiatives like skill development, women could earn as much as Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000 per month and "that is what we call payment to housewives and not doles to them." Haasan was the first to promise what he called in December last 'payment' to homemakers for their work. For more on Tamil Nadu assembly polls, watch the full video.
