Rajinikanth rules out reconsidering his decision on not to enter politics

Chennai/UNI: Reiterating his decision on not to take the political plunge citing his health condition and the Covid-19 pandemic, southern superstar Rajinikanth on Monday humbly appealed to his fans not to sadden him by asking him to reconsider his decision.

In a statement posted on his Twitter, Rajinikanth ruled out reconsidering his decision.

Referring to the protest demonstration staged by some expelled members of his Rajini Makkal Mandram (RMM) and others asking him to reconsider his decision, he said
he had already explained in detail the reason as to why he could not enter politics and conveyed my decision.

''Even after this, please don't further sadden me by organising such protests asking me to reconsider my decision and enter politics'', he added.

While complementing those who staged the protests for maintaining dignity and discipline, he said it was saddening that such demonstrations were held in violation of the high command's order, Rajini said. 

Rajinikanth, who was about to make an announcement on Dec 31, 2020, on 29th of the same month said the health condition is a warning for him to not jump into electoral politics. 

Rajinikanth, 70, was admitted to a hospital in Hyderabad last year after his blood pressure had fluctuated. 

Rajinikanth's joining in politics had created a wave in Tamil Nadu politics which will witness crucial state polls in the first half of 2021.

Besides Rajinikath, his colleague Kamal Haasan has already launched his political party Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) for the next year polls.
