Posters depicting superstar Rajinikanth wishing BJP’s prime-ministerial candidate and Gujarat chief-minister Narendra Modi have come up in some places in Trichy. The timing of the posters is significant as they have come up on the eve of the visit of the mercurial Modi to attend the ‘Ilam Thamarai’ conference at Trichy today.
Modi is widely tipped by exit polls to become the country’s next prime-minister and is also the BJP’s best bet for the top post. Ever since Modi’s candidature was confirmed by the party a few weeks back, BJP leaders in the State have been trying their best to get Rajini to campaign for the party in the State as it would serve as a huge fillip to BJP’s electoral prospects at the national level.
BJP leaders such as L. Ganesan, Tamizhisai Soundararajan and Pon Radhakrishnan have said on more than one occasion that Rajini should declare his open support to BJP and to Modi especially in the country’s interest. However, their appeals have so far been greated only by a stony silence from superstar. In this backdrop, posters showing Rajini and Modi together have been put up all over Trichy by ‘Rajini Thalam’ and ‘Rajini Thalaimaiyagam’.
Posters showing Rajini presenting a bouquet to a suit-clad Modi are accompanied by a caption ‘Ungalaithaan Nambudhu Indha bhoomi; Ini Indiavukku Nalla vazhi Kaami’ (‘The world looks up to you; lead India on the right path’), which is a slightly modified lyric from a song on Rajini’s super-duper hit film Yajaman which released in nineties. It, however, remains unclear as to whether these posters have been put up by BJP or some mighty-excited fans of Rajini.
