After years of contemplating, Rajinikanth on Monday said he has decided not to enter into politics. He has also dissolved the Rajini Makkal Mandram (RMM), which was formed as a precursor to his political launch.
“I thank all Rajini Makkal Mandram office bearer and fans. After my decision not to enter politics there was a question about Rajinikanth Makkal Mandram, it’s my duty to clarify,” he said in a statement.
The superstar added that the office-bearers of the RMM will continue to be part of the Rajinikanth Fan Club Association that will involve itself in public service.
“Due to circumstances, we couldn’t achieve what we thought. I have no intention of joining politics in the future. So, I have decided to dissolve the Rajini Makkal Mandram. The office-bearers of the Rajinikanth Makkal Mandram would continue to be part of Rajinikanth Fan Club Association that will involve itself in public service,” the statement further said.
Last year in December, Rajinikanth had announced that he will join politics and will launch his political party in January this year. However, his health deteriorated following month, halting his plan to join politics.
