Accordingly actor rajinikanth on Tuesday acknowledged that he has received an invitation to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Narendra modi as Prime Minister for a second term and confirmed that he will be in attendance in the capital. Meanwhile his announcement comes a day after he and Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) Chief kamal hassan were reportedly invited for the ceremony.
When speaking to the media near his residence, rajinikanth said, "I will be going for the swearing-in ceremony." Furthermore he added that the BJP owes its victory to Narendra modi's charisma. "This victory is for the person Narendra modi. He is a charismatic leader. In india after Nehru, indira gandhi was a charismatic leader and then there was rajiv gandhi. Later we had a leader like Vajpayee. modi is now a charismatic leader. Even in Tamilnadu we had Kamaraj, Anna, MGR, Kalaignar and Jayalalitha. This is the victory for modi".
Moreover when questioned about speculation over Congress President rahul Gandhi's resignation, he said, "He won't say rahul Gandhi lacks leadership skills. It is tough to handle an age old party like Congress and he think senior leaders did not co-operate with him. He should not resign, he should prove he can do it too. In a democracy, the opposition should also be strong." Even though rajinikanth has said he will attend the ceremony, Kamal Haasan meanwhile is yet to commit to his presence at the ceremony.
