Tamil superstar Rajinikanth discussed with the representatives of his fans’ clubs about the next course of action to be initiated by him as a follow-up to his decision to float a new political party to take on the DMK and the AIADMK and other parties.

Rajini made his now-famous announcement on the last day of last year (Dec. 31) that he would be entering the political arena by floating his own outfit to rectify the (political) system in the State which had gone beyond repair. He also announced that his party would contest all the 234 seats in the State when Assembly polls are held and added that decision on contesting the 2019 general elections would be taken later.

Keenly involved in admitting lakhs of fans as cadres on his newly-launched website as a prelude to listing the cadres before the political outfit takes off, Rajini was at his Raghavendra Kalayana Mandapam in Kodambakkam yesterday to hold discussions with the various functionaries on the further course of action to be initiated.

Sudhakar, Raja Mahalaingam and a few others including Rajini’s personal assistant for many years, Sathyanarayana, took part in the meeting which lasted for more than an hour. Suggestions were exchanged about strengthening the outfit at grassroots level. It remains to be seen whether District level functionaries of the outfit would be announced via video-conferencing mode after detailed field surveys.
