According to a recent press meet by the actor turned politician Rajinikanth, he is going to launch his political party in Tamil Nadu this January, the announcement for which will be made on December 31. Vjaya Sankar, the editor of Frontline magazine spoke with NewsClick in detail about the reluctance within Rajinikanth, his political bankruptcy, the relationship with the BJP and how Dravidian politics in the state cannot only be broken with his charisma, even if the BJP plays a role. He said that Rajinikanth cannot be equated with MGR, Jayalalitha and NTR and reckons that the DMK-led alliance will come to power in Tamil Nadu this time unless a miracle happens
