Earlier today, Rajinikanth formally announed that he is going to enter politics with the aim to target all 234 seats in the Tamil Nadu assembly.
Reacting to the development, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy had a few things to say about the prominent actor.
In a statement to ANI, Swamy said that Rajinikanth is 'illiterate' and he is doing this (announcing his foray into politics) simply for media hype. He also said that he will expose Rajinikanth once the actor announces the name of his political party, which has no details or documents as of yet.
He only announced he is entering politics, had no details or documents, he is illiterate. Its only media hype, people of Tamil Nadu are intelligent: Subramanian Swamy, BJP on #Rajinikanth pic.twitter.com/4dDZWLGxdd
