Rajinikanth assured his fans that it will be spiritual politics and will launch them in January that is on December 31st Night. After keeping his fans and followers waiting for a long time the 70 year old Rajini wants to take a plunge into politics from January.
Rajini will be contesting the Assembly elections and wants to give a corruption free rule with spiritual politics. This is the first time that some one promised spiritual politics.
The BJP is also into religious and spiritual politics indirectly. Will Rajini take the BJP vote bank into his fold is another question.
We will change everything, now or never Rajini told his fans. Will Rajini be a game changer in the Tamilnadu politics has to be seen. Will he able to fill the void created by Amma Jayalalithaa has to be seen.
Will he join Kamal Hassan or any other party is also a big question. He might go all alone also. But the fans of Rajini are already in a frenzy.
It also remains to be seen what sort of alliance Rajini would be able to assemble to take on the DMK led front and the AIADMK led alliance.
The biggest question would be if he will join hands with the BJP since his opponents have always alleged that he is only a front for the BJP. It is also likely that the BJP may step back to give Rajini the advantage of leveraging his brand of “spiritual politics”, which is a soft euphemism for BJP’s Hindutva.
One can witness a silent transfer of BJP votes, what little there might be in Tamil Nadu, to Rajini’s new party.
