The Tamil superstar also refrained from sharing his views on the ruling BJP saying "he isn't a complete politician yet"
CHENNAI:
Actor-turned-politician
Rajinikanth's response to whether the BJP is such a "dangerous
party" that certain political parties are working towards forming an
anti-BJP alliance had left the reporters confused. "They are thinking
so... so it must be so," the 67-year-old actor-politician had said.
A day later, the actor's
clarification on his remark is equally ambiguous.
"On Monday, I had meant
opposition parties believe BJP is dangerous. People will decide if BJP is a
dangerous party. If 10 people go against one person, you decide who is
stronger," he said today.
Rajinikanth, seen by some as
leaning towards the ruling party at the centre, had announced his political
entry on December 31 last year and made his debut speech in March. Since then,
there has been much speculation about his possible political alliances.
"People keep saying the BJP
is behind me. That is not true. Only God and the people are behind me," he
said and assured his followers that his politics will be "spiritual"
and based on "honesty and truthfulness".
Last month, Tamil Nadu's
opposition DMK -- which insisted that "spiritual politics" indicated
a leaning towards the BJP and its ideological mentor, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak
Sangh (RSS) -- alleged that Rajinikanth is being supported by communal
elements.
However, he hasn't shied away
from criticising a government decision that he had supported two years ago. He
has called demonetisation as an "incorrect move".
"The implementation was
flawed. It is a matter that should be discussed in detail," he told
reporters.
The actor was among the first to
support Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision to scrap Rs. 500
and Rs. 1,000 currency notes with three broad objectives -- black
money, corruption and terror funding.
