Making a U-turn, superstar Rajinikanth on Tuesday announced he will not enter politics in view of his frail health, putting an end to his long-nurtured plans and describing his recent hospitalisation as a “God’s warning.” “Only I know the pain behind making this announcement,” the 70 year-old actor said in a statement, two days before he was to spell out the contours of his party based on spiritual politics aimed at bringing a total change in Tamil Nadu in the 2021 Assembly elections. “I inform with great regret I am unable to come to politics by floating a party. Only I know the pain behind making this announcement,” he said. Rajinikanth, however, said he would serve people in whatever way he could without entering electoral politics.
