Rajinikanth Philanthropy
The writer Naman Ramachandran has authored the book Rajinikanth: The Definitive Biography, which speaks a lot about actor Rajinikanth and his life events. In 2011, Rajinikanth announced his support for the anti-corruption movement led by Gandhian Anna Hazare. He has a marriage hall, the Raghavendra Kalyana Mandapam, in Chennai which he lends free of cost for philanthropic activities led by his fans. Rajinikanth fans regularly organize blood donation and eye donation camps and distribute food during his birthday.
Rajinikanth Politics
Rajinikanth had been into politics for a very long time. At first, Rajinikanth lends his support to the Congress party. So Congress joined and decided to hand with All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) for the assembly election in Tamil Nadu in 1996. But Rajinikanth changed his mind and supported Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) – Tamil Maanila Congress (TMC) alliance. And they had a huge victory. His support continued n the parliamentary election, held the same year. Later in 2004, Rajinikanth said he would personally vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) but would not lend his support to any party during the upcoming Indian general election. Anyhow the party didn’t win any seats in Tamilnadu. His fans had continuous speculation about Rajinikanth entering into politics. Rajinikanth himself announced his entry into politics on 31 Dec 2017 and confirmed that his newly formed party will contest in the forthcoming assembly elections in 2021 from all 234 constituencies in Tamil Nadu state. He also added that he and his party would resign when unable to fulfill its electoral promises within three years of coming into power.
