Are you MGR or Jayalalitha? Rajinikanth takes a dig at Tamil Nadu's CM & the entire cabinet ministry!

 

Actor Politician Rajinikanth attended a condolence meeting organized for the late DMK leader M. Karunanidhi by the Tamil film industry and his speech at the event contained some explosive statements against the current ruling party AIADMK and its leaders. Excerpts from his speech (detailed version here) can be seen below:  

I reached around 5.45/6 to pay my condolences at Rajaji Hall..(Calculating the crowd I witnessed the previous night at Gopalapuram), I was heart-broken to see only a few thousand people present. It wasn't much. I wondered if this is all the turn-up for a leader of such tall stature...Heart-broken, I even I got angry at Tamil people..But when I got up at 12.25-1 and switched on the TV, what I witnessed was waves and waves of crowd. I said to myself, Waah..Tamilars are Tamilars afterall..They do not forget anything..

There was only short-coming..When the governor to ministers from all state to the Prime Minister and even Congress leader Rahul Gandhi who waited till 2.30-3 and waded through the crowds to pay respect were present, shouldn't Tamil Nadu's first citizen, the Chief Minister not have come there? He should have been there..Shouldn't the entire cabinet ministry have been there? Looking at all this, what would others think? Are you MGR sir or Ms. Jayalalitha?. Enmity went off with the tall leaders (MGR, Jayalalitha & Karunanidhi) who clashed with each other. Now it is not required, right? And by enemies I mean opposite parties, that's all..Give them respect, please.(in a stern voice).

Rajinikanth then added, "Respect was given to Karunanidhi by allotting the land (at Marina). It didn't go for a higher appeal (higher than the High Court). Had it gone to a higher court, I myself would have taken part in the protests (demanding Marina for Karunanidhi's burial) .."
