CHENNAI: Actor Rajinikanth met DMK president MK Stalin on Wednesday (May 6) following the party’s defeat in the Assembly election.

The meeting took place at Stalin’s residence in Alwarpet. According to sources, Rajinikanth conveyed his support to the DMK leader and said he would stand by him even during difficult times.

The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) secured only 59 seats in the recently concluded election, losing power after one term in office.
