Rajinikanth has finally announced his entry into politics, ending the months-long suspense   Rajinikanth has finally announced his entry into politics, ending the months-long suspense which had kept his fans, observers, politicians and fellow film stars on tenterhooks for months. Tamil superstar Rajinikanth on Sunday announced his plan to enter politics and said he would float his own party. Rajinikanth announces political entry: While announcing his political foray, superstar Rajinikanth quoted a shloka from the Bhagwad Gita which stresses on the importance of doing one’s duty and leaving the rest to the Lord, he said, “This is the compulsion of time.” He also added that the policies of the party will be taken to the people, he said and added that truthfulness, hard work and growth will be the slogan of his party. “Do good, speak and only good will happen,” will be the guiding slogan, he said. Speaking on the last day of his fan interaction at Raghavendra Marriage Hall in Kodambakkam here, Rajinikanth said he would contest the next (2021) assembly election and would field candidates in all the 234 assembly constituencies in Tamil Nadu.He said, “I am not entering politics for post or position. if I had wanted it, I would have got it in 1996 itself. If at the age of 45 I had not aspired for that, why would I do it at the age of 68?” The superstar said, “My politics will be based on spirituality, not on religion or caste.””The whole thing has to change. The system has to change. Democracy has been corrupted. It needs to be cleansed ,” he added. “From the days of kings and rulers looting other countries and kingdoms, we have come to a level where rulers are looting their own country,” said Rajinikanth. He said politics in the state over the last year had made people hang their heads in shame.He said there was no time to look at the local body polls. However, he would take a call closer to the 2019 Lok Sabha polls on whether to contest in that or not.”This is not a film. This is politics. We have to spread ourselves to every street in the street,” the actor said.He said initially the focus should be on strengthening fan clubs, reviving those that are defunct and getting  everyone, especially women folk, into them.”I have thousands of fans associations. This is more than what most political parties can boast of. I will bring all of them together. People from all walks of life, from villages to cities need to come together.This is my first task to you. Bring everyone together. Apart from this, we need to maintain discipline. Do not find faults with others, don’t blame or bad mouth others,” says Rajinikanth at the Raghavendra Mandapam.”The politics in the state has become rotten. Democracy has become rotten. All other states are laughing at us after everything that has happened over the last one year. It’s time for a change in politics. It’s time for a truthful, transparent political party. That is my desire and no one can stand in my way. To start and contest an election with a new party is going to be difficult but the love and support of my Tamil people will prove my decision right,” says Rajinikanth at the Raghavendra Mandapam. “The politics in the state has become rotten.

I have done my Karma to others, now its time to do my bit for the people. I will launch my own party and stand in all 234 Tamil Nadu constituencies in the next assembly elections,” says Rajinikanth at the Raghavendra Mandapam. “Some people after joining politics start looting the people. They don’t loot other countries or people, rather their own. I will make sure what is due to the people, will reach them. We need watchmen who will police and ask questions from those do wrong,” says Rajinikanth at the Raghavendra Mandapam.”The politics in the state has become rotten. Democracy has become rotten.

BJP should wake up and realise that he is not with us. This is a joke, Tamil Nadu requires something serious. The mood in Tamil Nadu is to get rid of all the film stars in politics. Rajini is entering politics at the wrong time and place. He should be worried in fact that all his black money trail will come into the limelight. The people of Tamil Nadu will not fall into Rajini fan clubs’ song and dance. Fans club cannot become a political outfit,” says Subramanian Swamy.”Rajinikanth is an uneducated man. What will he tell us? This is a just an age-old story of another Tamil actor joining politics. I will always oppose Rajnikanth. Tamil Nadu’s image can only improve when we get rid of cinema stars. He has still not announced a political party,” says BJP’s Subramanian Swamy.]]>
