Minister Bhalaji’s open support to Rajini irks AIADMK seniors in Kongu region

However, vociferous Bhalaji known for his outspoken comments also defended the actor in the press briefing stating that the Superstar can think on his own and no need to outsource ideas from the RSS and the BJP. In a lighter vein Bhalaji also said that the media in TN practices a trait of projecting Rajini as an RSS implant. BJP is a party based in India and not from California. Won’t Rajini think on his own? wondered Bhalaji. Reacting to the political developments, ousted former AIADMK MP KC Palaniswami has made a four-minute video clip circulating it to thousands of AIADMK followers. 

“Genuine AIADMK functionaries and cadre are upset with the party as the leaders are openly committing about alliance without discussing the issue with party workers and cadre. AIADMK leaders are differing with their opinions about actor Rajinikanth and there is no clear-cut strategy to deal with the actor and his party,” Palaniswami told DT Next. 

“AIADMK coordinator O Panneerselvam hints about an alliance. CM EPS says first let Rajini float the party and we can react after that. Minister Jayakumar welcomes the actor, but remains non-committed and whereas Bhalaji supports the actor,” the former MP said in his video explanation which is now popular among the AIADMK workers.
