Locals protesting against the expansion of a copper smelter plant in Tamil Nadu's Tuticorin today found support from actor-politician Rajinikanth, who took to Twitter to say the government was not responding to the protests that have been going on for 47 days. "One can't understand why the government, which gave the nod for the plant, is not taking any action and is just watching," the 67-year-old said in a tweet in Tamil.
