Actor Rajinikanth’s associate and Gandhiya Makkal Iyakkam founder Tamilaruvi Manian on Tuesday said the actor could not enter electoral politics now, but has not said he would never enter politics. He has also not disbanded the Rajini Makkal Mandram (RMM), Manian said in a statement. “If tomorrow Rajinikanth says he is entering politics, Gandhiya Makkal Iyakkam will associate itself with him on his journey. If Rajinikanth does not enter politics also, it will continue to function as a sister organization,” Manian said.

Interestingly, this was the first statement Manian made after December 30, 2020, when he had announced that he was quitting politics forever and would never return until his death. His statement came a day after Rajinikanth expressed his inability to enter electoral politics by launching his own party on December 29, 2020. “Political forces are trying to wean away RMM functionaries. While some of them have joined other parties, several others are looking for sanctuaries like migratory birds. While I do not want to fish in troubled waters, the party’s general council will meet on March 7 in Tirupur,” Manian said.
