Finally
Rajinikanth,
the
Superstar
of
Tamil
Cinema,
has
walked
away
with
all
sympathy
of
the
Tamil
people
and
got
a
new
heroic
image
as
the
man,
who
always
speaks
for
Tamils
following
Tamil
Cinema's
show
of
strength
at
hunger
strike
organised
by
Tamil
Film
Industry
at
Chepauk.
On
April
4,
Friday,
Rajini
entered
into
the
Shamiana
specially
made
for
the
hunger
strikers
at
11.15
PM
and
put
a
full
stop
for
the
rumours
that
he
wouldn't
turned
up
for
the
fasting.
Remember
that
the
Superstar
always
identified
himself
as
a
Tamilian
by
his
thoughts
and
activities,
but
is
constantly
criticized
by
a
section
of
vested
force
in
the
state
for
his
Maharashtrian
origin
and
Kannadian
born.
Most
of
his
co
actors
have
openly
targeted
this
true
'Gentleman
of
Tamil
Cinema'
for
the
past
few
days
that
he
would
not
attend
the
fasting
and
would
be
escaped
to
Himalayan
ranges
to
save
his
properties
in
Karnataka.
But
Rajini
proved
all
these
assumptions
as
idiotic
and
pre-matured
through
his
presence
and
electrifying
speech.
When
he
entered
into
the
stage
set
up
for
the
protest,
all
the
stars
including
the
one,
who
openly
targeted
Rajini
yesterday
Sathyaraj
have
received
him
with
a
standing
ovation
and
thundering
applause.
Figured
in
the
centre
chair
Rajini
waved
his
hands
towards
his
Vazhavaikkum
Deivangal,
which
made
them
immensely
happy.
But
some
of
the
third
rated
speech
delivered
in
the
stage
by
some
actors
made
him
tensed
and
ill
at
ease.
He
was
not
his
normal
'cool'
self
and
was
sweating
due
to
the
humid
wind
blowing
from
the
beach,
and
barely
acknowledged
the
presence
of
other
actors
on
the
make
shift
stage.
Especially,
Sathyaraj's
worst
and
uncultured
speech
has
just
targeted
only
Rajinikanth.
When
he
mentioned
Rajini
as
an
ardent
fan
of
Vattal
Nagaraj,
the
entire
crowd
has
heard
this
with
a
sign
of
displeasure.
Rajini
simply
watched
everything
with
artless
face.
Sarath
Kumar
also
tried
to
use
the
occasion
to
show
him
as
the
savior
of
Tamils
with
a
vague
announcement
of
'collecting
Rs.100
crores'
to
help
nationalization
of
Rivers.
Finally
Rajini,
the
man
well
known
for
his
discipline
and
self
controlled
behaviour
even
with
his
enemies,
held
the
mike
and
stole
the
hearts
of
Tamils
with
an
electrifying
but
thought
provoking
speech.
In
a
hard
hitting
short
speech,
he
accused
the
politicians
from
Karnataka
of
whipping
up
sentiments
on
the
Hogenakkal
issue
just
because
of
coming
elections
and
condemned
the
violence
against
Tamils
in
that
state.
He
said
the
issue
was
sensitive
and
unless
politicians
from
both
states
sit
across
the
table
and
sort
it
out,
it
is
not
going
to
be
solved.
Rajini
went
hammer
and
tong
at
former
Chief
Minister
SM
Krishna
and
BJP's
Yediyurappa.
He
made
it
clear
that
Krishna
had
unnecessarily
jumped
in
to
the
fray
because
he
wanted
to
head
his
party
in
the
coming
elections
in
Karnataka.
Rajini
said,
"An
elderly
man,
whom
I
respect,
came
down
from
Bombay
said
that
it
was
Karunanidhi,
who
provoked
the
whole
thing.
How
shameful
is
that?
Dont
think
that
the
people
are
fools.
They
are
like
god
and
they
know
the
purpose
of
politicians
for
their
each
and
every
movement."
He
blamed
Yediyurappa
for
creating
the
problem
by
going
to
Hogenakkal,
located
in
Tamil
Nadu,
and
staging
a
demonstration
there
and
opening
up
old
wounds.
"Since
the
issue
was
settled
down
by
the
Central
Government
a
decade
ago
by
issuing
a
NOC,
the
politicians
are
ridiculously
trying
to
disturb
the
set
up
just
for
their
personal
political
benefits," he
added.
Rajinikanth
wondered
how
Karnataka
could
oppose
the
scheme,
water
which
would
be
used
from
the
Cauvery
running
within
Tamil
Nadu.
“Those
who
are
raising
the
issue
are
doing
it
for
the
elections.
The
issue
should
be
nipped
in
the
bud.
Otherwise,
it
grows
like
a
devil"
he
futher
said,
terming
the
opposition
as
dangerous
to
the
sovereignty
of
the
country.
Rajinikanth
also
added
for
good
effect-
"Top
politicians
are
fueling
this
crisis,
which
was
not
an
issue
before
elections
were
announced
in
Karnataka.
Please
note
I'm
not
making
any
kind
of
political
speech,
I
am
speaking
the
truth".
The
actor
also
made
an
appeal
to
the
Karnataka
politicians
like
Yediyurappa,
Karge,
Ananthakumar,
Deve
Gouda
and
Kumaraswamy
to
stop
their
political
game
at
this
point.
Otherwise
the
aftereffects
would
be
very
bad
to
them.
The
crowd
was
almost
in
ecstasy
while
hearing
the
hearty
speech
of
the
Superstar
and
hailed
him
a
lot
with
huge
shout,
"Thalaiva
nee
vaazhga…
You
are
the
real
Tamilian!"
