Rajinikanth will try to fill the huge vacuum in Tamil Nadu politics, which has revolved for the last half a century around larger-than-life figures, whether it was CN Annadurai, Muthuvel Karunanidhi, MG Ramachandran or Jayalalithaa.

Charisma won’t favour Rajini in politics
Superstar might have taken the right decision just to appease his fans. And he is under the impression that charishma which he is enjoying now would favour him in politics too. It’s totally a miscalculation as the present political climate isn’t conducive for him since things have changed for the worse. And relying on his die hard fans alone won’t help him in politics. Rajini ought to have felt the pulse of the people more so the below povertyline families and the so called middle class, who are experiencing untold hardships due to various factors. Farmers issue is at it’s peak sans any solution. Moreover, the present government has earned the wrath of the people of Tamil Nadu for it’s non-functioning.

This itself has received large scale criticism from various sections of the people. Better for Rajini to scout for a political advisor similar to Cho Ramasamy, who was advisor to Jayalalithaa.
