It has been a while rumours are doing rounds that the south superstar Rajinikanth is joining politics. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also met Rajinikanth before the Lok Sabha polls and news of the actor joining the BJP created a lot of buzz. However, both BJP and Rajinikanth camps never made any official statement regarding the issue.
Now, a remark made by BJP leader Subramaniam Swamy when he was asked about speculation about Rajnikanth being roped in by the BJP seems totally against Modi's desire to induct Rajinikanth in the party.
Swamy told reporters, "No more cinema stars." Swamy made the statement on the sidelines of a press interaction in Bangalore after AIADMK supremo and former cine-star J Jayalalitha was sentenced to jail for four years on corruption charges by a special court in Bangalore on Saturday. In fact, the 18-year-old corruption case against Jayalalitha was first filed by Swamy -then with the Janata Party.
