After ‘miracle’ quip, Rajini predicts ‘wonder by people’ in 2021 polls
CHENNAI: Superstar Rajinikanth on Thursday asserted that the people of Tamil Nadu will create a “wonder and marvel” in the 2021 Assembly elections in the State, remarks that come amid indications of him politically aligning with his contemporary and MNM chief Kamal Haasan.
The actor, who had announced he will float his own political party and face the 2021 polls, also said issues such as sharing power in case of an alliance with Haasan of Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) could be discussed only in the run-up to the elections. He was replying to questions from reporters at the airport here. “In 2021, people of Tamil Nadu will 100 per cent create a big wonder and marvel in politics,” Rajinikanth said in an apparent reference to the 2021 polls and possibly a major role by him then. A few days ago, the actor took a swipe at Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami assuming office and continuing to hold the reins of power is a ‘miracle’.
Asked about his possible alliance with Haasan and who would be the CM, Rajini said such issues could be discussed only during poll time. “Such issues will be decided then and upon the prevailing situation. That too, I have to consult my party men after I start a party,” he added.
