One of the most celebrated actors, Superstar Rajinikanth called for a sudden press meet at 10.30 am on March 12 at the Leela Palace in Chennai. After meeting his Rajini Makkal Mandram organisers and leaders, in the press meet, he has put forward his views and opinions on launching his political party.
Rajinikanth started off saying that he had announced his decision to enter politics on December 31, 2017. He says, "In 2016, when Jayalalithaa madam died, there was a vacuum in the state with the current rule looking unstable. Therefore, I had to announce my political entry in 2017 to serve the people.”
He then announced that he has never thought of the Chief Minister's seat and thereby ended the speculations. And further said that there will be separate leader for the Party and separate leader for the Government.
Rajinikanth ended his speech by saying that he would come into active politics by the 2021 Tamil Nadu elections, only after seeing a visible revolution for change among the youngsters of the state.
