The ‘to be’ or ‘not to be’ stance of actor Rajinikanth as far as entering politics is concerned only continues to leave his diehard fans on tenterhooks (Tamil Nadu, “Politics not for making money: Rajini to fans”, May 16). While the ‘anxiety’ of his fans is understandable, to have the media providing wide coverage as if his decision will be the panacea for all ills affecting Tamil Nadu is intriguing. Mr. Rajinikanth should look to the past. If he wants to retain his clean image, it is advisable that he not venture anywhere near the crocodile-infested political pond. He can render his services to the people of Tamil Nadu through his fans in the form of charitable activities, raising his voice on public issues and pointing out transgressions in the administration of the State.
