Rajinikanth.
Bangalore: Congress said Saturday that it is too early to make an assessment on the likely impact of Rajinikanth’s party in Tamil Nadu, which is subject to the polls, citing the lack of clarity on the ideology, program and electoral roadmap of the proposed team.
The party’s head of Tamil Nadu affairs, Dinesh Gundu Rao, also claimed that “many of the BJP people” are now associated with the Tamil superstar.
He said Rajinikanth’s party is not yet registered, the ideology and program of his proposed team are not known, and there is no clarity on whether he will fight in next year’s Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu independently or form an electoral alliance. .
“Once that clarity comes, we will be able to assess (the possible political impact of the party) – at this point, it is too early to say,” the former chairman of the Karnataka Pradesh Congressional Committee told PTI.
“What is the structure of your party, what exactly is it going to do? Nobody knows,” said the Karnataka MLA and a former minister of state.
“Until then, how can we judge anything?”
“Will you be with the BJP … what you want to do … that everything has to be seen?” Added the son of the late former prime minister, R Gundu Rao.
Rajinikanth announced on Thursday that he would launch a political party in January 2021 to participate in the Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu.
