Advani meets Rajnikanth talks politics
Senior BJP leader L K Advani met Tamil filmstar Rajnikanth at the actor’s residence in Chennai, on Wednesday.
BJP sources said both of them discussed the latest political situation in the country.
State BJP president L Ganesan accompanied him, the sources added.
The meeting bears immense significance in the present context, where Rajnikanth is under immense pressure to enter politics.
Later Advani admitted that they had had a long discussion about the current political affairs and that he had requested Rajini to extend his political support to the BJP in the forthcoming General Election. But, sources reveal that though Rajini refused to give his support to any particular party he did convey his wishes to the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate.
Though Rajini has been resisting such demands he had recently announced that he would undertake a tour of the state to meet his fans and has also promised that he would meet them frequently. Rajnikanth’s office bearers are tight lipped about what transpired in his meeting with Advani.
Advani had come to Chennai in connection with the release of the Tamil version of his autobiography, My Country; My Life.
