Are politics linked to education? Does someone need Bachelor’s and Master’s degree to become a politician? If so, would we have Modi as our PM?
Tamil Nadu politics are closely linked with film stars from past few decades. Right from MGR to Jayalalitha, every Chief Minister is involved with the film industry. Amid a lot of speculations, Tamil Superstar Thalaiva Rajinikanth announced his grand entry into politics.
While each and every Tamilian is celebrating Rajini’s political entry, few politicians are condemning it. BJP leader Subramanian Swamy criticized Rajinikanth’s entry into politics. The controversial BJP leader went on to comment that, Rajinikanth is illiterate, and what will he preach to the people of the state?
Subramanian Swamy went on to heckle Rajinikanth’s political entry stating, this isn’t the first time a film star is entering the politics. The BJP leader was sternly against Rajinikanth’s political entry right from the very beginning. Respect towards Tamil politics will only improve when politics are free from these film stars, said Subramanian Swamy.
Though Rajinikanth did not explicitly state that he wouldn’t be having an alliance with BJP, it was clear from his speech. Rajinikanth confirmed he will be contesting in all the 234 Tamil Nadu Assembly constituencies.
