Tamil superstar Rajinikanth may have been wooed by BJP and GK Vasan, who broke away from Congress, but newly appointed Congress chief in Tamil Nadu EVKS Elangovan feels he should not enter politics.
‘Rajinikanth should not come to politics at all. This is my opinion. He has fans in all political parties. He is widely respected by the Tamil Nadu people,’ Elangovan said.
The much adored actor, who came out in support of erstwhile Tamil Maanila Congress floated by Vasan’s father GK Moopanar in 1996, should not confine himself to a small circle, he said.
Elangovan, however, added ‘All citizens who are committed to secularism, including Rajinkanth are welcome to join Congress.’
As a national political party, Congress ‘is open to all citizens with enduring faith in secularism, inclusive growth and democratic values,’ he added. Rajnikanth is wooed vigorously by the BJP in Tamil Nadu to strengthen the party in the state keeping its eyes on 2016 assembly elections as it wanted to present an alternative to AIADMK and DMK.
