It is final that Rajinikanth has clarified that he will not enter politics in his lifetime. Today Rajini had a meeting with his followers at his house and told them to close the party.
Rajini returned from America after a full medical check-up for him. Dhanush the popular film star and the relative of Rajini was also there in America during the medical checkup.
Many of his fans agree to the fact that Rajinikanth’s health condition may not allow him to enter politics amid a pandemic There is also a section that was keen on his entry as other politicians are leading the campaign ahead of the Assembly polls. His entry was also seen as a necessity for the BJP to build an anti-Dravidian front in the state given that the actor largely holds nationalistic and spiritual views.
Rajinikanth, in his statement earlier, cited his health condition and Covid-19 pandemic as the main reasons for deciding against his political entry. He did mention the immunosuppressant medicines he is taking.
Rajinikanth had these health risks even when he made pronouncements about entering politics in December 2017 and earlier this month.
So, did a minor fluctuation in blood pressure last week make him change his mind? His critics, as well as many on the social media, see it as a strategic move by the actor arguing to deal with power centres in New Delhi.
Someone who knew about early discussions in the Rajinikanth camp said he was actually playing around in order to escape from the obligations he could have had with the national party.
