Raising his voice against voters accepting money for vote, film star Kamal Haasan said if a citizen accepts money for this purpose you will only get a thief as your leader.
I am not bothered who is or which party is giving (money), but should not the one accepting (it) be ashamed, he told a Tamil TV channel here.
One would forfeit the locus standi to question a minister for non-performance or accuse a politician of corruption as accepting cash for vote itself is a similar act, he said.
If you accept (money) then you will only get a thief as a leader, he said responding to a question on voters being lured with money during elections.
