Rajinikanth launches website, requests people to bring a good change in Tamil Nadu

Rajinikanth uploaded a one-minute video in which he extended New Year greetings and thanked all those who supported his entry into politics

Chennai: A day after announcing his entry into politics, superstar Rajinikanth on Monday launched a website and an app inviting people to register themselves in his campaign to bring about political change in Tamil Nadu. Rajinikanth uploaded a one-minute video in which he extended New Year greetings and thanked all those who supported his entry into politics. "I have created a web page -- www.rajinimanram.org -- where members of my registered fans associations and unregistered associations and people who want a good change in Tamil Nadu politics can register with their names and voter ID to coordinate ourselves. "Let us bring a good change in Tamil Nadu. Hail Tamil people and Tamil Nadu," he said in the video, which had a logo made famous by him in his super-hit film "Baba" with words "Truth, Labour, Elevation". Accusing political parties of "looting" the people, Rajinikanth on Sunday said he will float a new party that will pursue "spiritual politics" and vowed to contest the next Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.

Alleging that politics in the country had gone "very wrong", Rajinikanth said in Tamil: "Under the guise of democracy, political parties are looting their own people." Such a system, he added, needed to be changed.
