I will vote BJP, fans need not follow: Rajnikant Sunday, April 11 2004 11:59 Hrs (IST)
Chennai:
Ruling out any formal support to any alliance in Tamil Nadu for the coming Lok Sabha polls, Tamil superstar Rajnikant announced today (Apr 11, 2004) that he will personally vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led alliance in the State.
BJP alone has promised to interlink major national rivers to solve the drinking water problems, he said adding that the BJP led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) Government will come to power in the Centre after the polls.
Rajnikant said he would not compel his large number of fans to vote for any particular party and they were free to cast their ballots according to their choice.
"Please think deeply before casting your vote," he said while reading out a written statement in a crowded press conference today.
He refused to answer any questions of the reporters and left the venue.
