If the latest rumours doing rounds on social media are to be believed, Tamil Nadu superstar Rajinikanth is likely to be appointed as the Governor of Telangana.
According to the rumour mills, the BJP national leadership reportedly made this bumper offer to Rajinikanth, who has reportedly been contemplating retiring from film industry soon.
Apparently, the BJP leadership is of the view that the Tamil superstar would help the party gain a huge political mileage in the assembly elections in Telangana. Not only that, it would also help the party gain some ground in Tamil Nadu as well.
“In fact, by honouring Rajinikanth with the Governor’s post, the BJP hopes to earn the confidence of the people in the entire South India,” sources said.
In fact, it was Rajinikanth’s brother Satyanarayana Rao Gaikwad, who triggered the rumours a couple of days ago that the superstar might soon become the Governor of a state in India. This has added spice to the speculations that Rajinikanth is contemplating entering politics.
“He may not enter direct politics, but he will definitely become the Governor of a state,” Satyanarayana Rao said.
That Rajinikanth is getting closer to the Bharatiya Janata Party was suspected, after his recent meeting with Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath. The superstar even touched the feet of Adityanath.
The BJP has been focusing on attracting film stars down south for their upcoming election campaign. So, there is no surprise if Rajinikanth is made Governor by the Modi government any time.
