RajiniÂs explanation to CM
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,April 15 2011]
Superstar Rajinikanth has reportedly given an explanation to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK president M Karunanidhi on some television channels showing him voting for the AIADMK during the polling for Assembly elections on Wednesday.
When the top actor came to the Stella Maris College polling booth, lensmen literally chased him and even captured the visuals of Rajini doing his democratic duty. And some television channels aired the footage too, saying he voted for the Âtwo leavesÂ, the symbol of the AIADMK.
This resulted in the Election Commission issuing a stern warning to the channels, saying Âit is a poll violation and telecasting such a visual is a crime. Both the videographer and broadcaster will be punishedÂ. Following this, the visuals were taken off from the air.
Meanwhile, Rajini, who met Karunanidhi during a special show of ÂPonnar SankarÂ, told the Chief Minister that the cameramen had insisted him to go for a Âretake while pressing the EVM button and accidentally his hands pressed the two leaves symbol.
The DMK leadership seems to have accepted the explanation, with Karunanidhi exchanging pleasantries with the Superstar during the ÂPonnar Sankar show.
