Rajani Announces He will Fill Void left By Jayalalithaa

Tamil Superstar Rajinikanth brought down the curtains on his foray into active politics.  He delivered his first public address and  unveiled a statue of former chief minister and his super-senior in the film industry, MG Ramachandran, at the Dr MGR Educational and Research Institute in Chennai.

The film star expressed confidence that he will fill void created after Jayalalithaa’s demise and Karunanidhi ill health. “Jayalalithaa is no more and Karunanidhi is ill. Tamil Nadu needs a leader. I will come and fill that vacuum. God is in my side," he said.

Stating that he has learnt a lot about politics from his close friends M Karunanidhi, GK Moopanar and others,  Rajanikanth said urged his fans to not keep banners.

"I think my fans have erected banners, disturbing free flow of public movement is violation of High Court orders. I request the fans not to indulge in such activities," he said.
