Rajinikanth would enter politics, claims writer Tamizharuvi Manian

Writer and thinker Tamizharuvi Manian claimed that superstar Rajinikanth had told him he had decided to enter politics.Addressing a conference here to project Mr Rajinikanth as an ‘alternative force to DMK and AIADMK’, he said both Dravidian parties should be removed from Tamil Nadu, as they had “spoiled” the governance in the state.

“The system in Tamil Nadu has been spoiled by these two parties and now Mr Rajinikanth’s entry to politics will provide a pure and open government,” Manian said.

The actor’s expectation was that those who stand with him should be free from corruption. “That is Rajinikanth’s wish,” he said. He said the actor had spoken of his decision to enter politics recently during a chat when he was asked whether he would finally take the plunge, given the speculation doing the rounds among people for nearly 20 years.

“I have taken a decision to enter politics...It was God’s order to me to enter politics, so I will definitely enter,” Manian quoted the star as having said.
