Arjunamurthy, a close and (former) associate of Rajinikanth has come out and said that he will be launching his own political party soon. Speaking to the press on Thursday (January 28), he said that he would start his own political venture but did not reveal the name of the party.
“A change takes place in Tamil Nadu once in 60 years. I strongly believe we are at the stage now. Fortunately, the state is set to face assembly election, and we should utilize the opportunity,” Arjunamurthy said. He went on to say that the party will work towards the safety and welfare of women and children and that the state will greatly benefit from their objectives. “I have plans to tap the potential of youngsters, who account for a sizeable section of the population,” he said.
He also said, “Currently, I do not want to use Rajini sir’s name or pictures since it will affect him and his work. Hence, I bow down to his feet and as he introduced me to the nation, I will travel on his path and I’ll bring a change. In any case, I’ll not bring any strain to his name. Superstar Rajinikanth’s blessing is all that I need. I’ll make his dream come true.”
Rajinikanth had initially appointed Arjunamurthy and Tamilaruvi Manian as his associates for forming a political party under the Rajini Makkal Mandram banner. However, owing to health reasons, he quit politics on December 29. Following this, the latter followed suit and quit politics, while the former is now starting his own party.
