Chennai: Top actor Rajinikanth today
dismissed claims that BJP was behind his political entry and
said he was driven by only the God and the people.
"They are saying from the beginning that BJP is behind
me. Only God is behind me and after that people are behind me.
Okay," he told reporters here.
He was replying to a question about a 'row' over his
meeting with some local BJP leaders in Uttarakhand despite
maintaining that he was not a full time politician yet.
Rajinikanth has in December last announced he will launch
a political party and contest the next assembly elections in
Tamil Nadu and declared that "spiritual politics" needs to be
ushered in, sans shades of any caste or religion.
The actor who had embarked on a spiritual tour of the
Himalayas on March 10 returned here today.
Asked on his friend and actor politician Kamal Haasan
saying that he had not expressed views on key issues like
Cauvery, Rajinikanth denied it.
"I have given my view before. I have already said Cauvery
Management Board should be set up following the Supreme Court
order," he said.
Blaming the Centre for "delaying," the constitution of
the CMB, he said the state government should exert "more
pressure," on the union government. "All steps should be taken
for setting up the CMB as soon as possible," he added.
On his spiritual journey, he said he felt refreshed after
his tour.
