Actor Rajinikanth’s “political ideals” evoked mixed response from political parties in the State on Thursday.

“I am still not confident that he will take the political plunge. He is a good actor and I like him. But he is not MGR. This is my personal view and this won’t stand in the way of Rajinikanth entering into politics,” Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president K.S. Alagiri said.

VCK leader Thol. Thirumavalavan said the actor had indirectly indicated to his fans that he was not coming to politics.

BJP leader Pon. Radhakrishnan said the people had always been ready for an revolution and change.

“My wish is that he should join the BJP. Since he has said he will start a political party, we have to wait and watch,” Mr. Radhakrishnan said.

Seeman, chief coordinator of Naam Tamilar Katchi welcomed the actor’s announcement and wished him well.

“Not to be CM candidate is actor’s view. There have been different styles, ” Amma Munnetra Kazhagam general secretary T.T.V. Dhinakaran said.
