Remembering his late father Sreenivasan, Haasan expressed confidence that the people of his constituency would enable him to voice his views in the Assembly by voting for him.
"My father's dream was I should become an IAS officer and then enter politics. Though I could not realise his dream [of becoming an IAS officer], my party comprises many [former] IAS officers. That is a proud moment for us," he told reporters.
