Actor Rajinikanth on Monday told the District Secretaries of 'Rajini Makkal Mandram' that he would announce the decision on his active political plunge soon through the media.
Speaking to reporters here, a couple of District Secretaries said the actor had told them that he would decide on floating a political party and plunge into politics.
Rajinikanth would announce his decision on jumping into active Tamil Nadu politics soon, said two District Secretaries, who met the actor on Monday. According to the Mandram officials, they also expressed concern at Rajinikanth's health condition, and contesting the 2021 Tamil Nadu Assembly polls will be the ideal time.
The meeting lasted for about two hours. After the meeting he waved at the crowd assembled outside his Raghavendra Kalyana Mandapam sans mask.
It is also said Rajinikanth had told the District Secretaries that it is not possible for anyone to make money in politics with him. Last month Rajinikanth tweeted that he would consult with the officials of Rajini Makkal Mandram about his health condition and announce his political stance to the people.
At that time denying a statement purported to be issued by him announcing his decision to quit politics, Rajinikanth said some of the contents in that statement relating to his health and the medical advice given by the doctors were true.
"After discussing the matter with the officials of the Rajini Makkal Mandram, at an appropriate time I will announce my political stance to the people," Rajinikanth had said.
The election for Tamil Nadu Assembly is slated in 2021. As per the purported statement, if Rajinikanth had to start a political party then the plans would have to be finalised by December and an announcement to be made by January 15 next year.
