The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy on Sunday mocked superstar Rajinikanth’s announcement on entering politics and dubbed him as illiterate. It is also a surprising development since Rajnikanth is seen as close to Modi and BJP. In fact, BJP had sent feelers to him and aking Rajnikanth to join them.
Speaking to ANI, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy said, “One more film star is entering politics, so what is the fuss about? Maybe he has got good media managers. It is just a joke. He said he will announce the party later. He is a film star and he said he can eliminate corruption. Can film stars even eliminate corruption? What will he do for Tamil Nadu? He has no details or documents, he is illiterate”.
He added that it is only media hype as people of Tamil Nadu are intelligent enough to understand politics.
“Merely through media these film stars cannot do politics. Once he announces his party and puts anti-corruption issue in front, the truth will come out and he will run away. I don’t know if the BJP will support him but I will definitely oppose this,” Swamy asserted.
In a much-anticipated moment for all his fans and well-wishers, superstar Rajinikanth today confirmed his entry into politics, adding that he will be contesting in the next state assembly elections by forming a new party.
“My political entry is definite. This is a long-pending decision. I will feel guilty if I don’t take this decision at least now. In next assembly elections, I will form a party and will contest all constituencies in Tamil Nadu,” he said while addressing a gathering at the Sri Raghavendra Kalyana Mandapam here.
Talking about the current state of politics, the ‘Thalaiva’ called for a complete change in the democratic system, and urged for a more honest and transparent system to emerge.
It is not the first time that he is mocking any Tamil superstar. earlier this Year when Kamal Hassan expressed his wish to enter politics Subramanian Swamy reacted harshly. He said, “I don’t know about BJP but I will oppose this boneless wonder and pompous idiot called Kamal Haasan.”
