"Change Needed, It's Time": Rajinikanth Announces New Party
The decade-long suspense over whether Rajinikanth would enter politics ended today, with the superstar's promised announcement made amid frenzied cheers of hundreds of supporters. "I will come into politics. I will do my duty," the 67-year-old declared in Chennai on the last of his six-day outreach to fans. Pointing to what he called a low in Tamil politics over the last year, he said, "If I don't make this decision now, then I will have let people down, the guilt will haunt me". The death of AIADMK's iconic leader Jayalalithaa last December is seen to have left a vacuum in Tamil Nadu politics. Recently, the other big actor, Kamal Haasaan, had made his anticipated debut.
