A day just after actor-turned-politician Rajinikanth announced the launch of his political celebration, AIADMK coordinator and Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam on Friday hinted at a probable alliance. Welcoming Rajinikanth’s selection to enter politics, Panneerselvam mentioned that almost everything is probable in politics and there could be an alliance with the actor’s celebration in case of a appropriate chance.
“We welcome superstar Rajinikanth’s decision to enter politics. Everything is possible in politics. An alliance will be formed with Rajinikanth if there’s a possible opportunity,” he mentioned.
The statement holds significance as it comes a week just after Panneerselvam’s statement that AIADMK will continue its alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party for the upcoming Assembly election. Panneerselvam had mentioned this at a function of the state government which was attended by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami also expressed self-confidence that the AIADMK-BJP alliance will retain the energy in the state by winning extra seats.
AIADMK’s spokesperson Vaigaichelvan clarified that Panneerselvam created a basic comment and that there is certainly no conflict inside the celebration. “Our party coordinator made a very general comment and it is a sign of goodwill,” Vaigaichelvan was quoted as saying by Tamil channel Puthiyathalaimurai.
“All parties join hands during elections to defeat a common enemy and there is nothing new. Rajaji and Arignar Anna were considered to be two opposite poles but even they came together to defeat the Congress party. It’s not something new,” he mentioned.
Meanwhile DMK’s deputy basic secretary MP A Raja mentioned that Rajinikanth’s entry into politics will not influence their vote bank.
Earlier on Thursday, Rajinikanth mentioned that he will formally launch the celebration in January subsequent year and the name of the celebration will be announced in on December 31, precisely two years just after he announced his entry into politics. He had created his intentions of contesting 2021 Assembly elections in the state clear. The superstar also mentioned that a full overhaul of the governance program is needed and his celebration will deliver that selection.
