Rajinikanth, the iconic Tamil superstar, has publicly refuted claims that he attempted to mediate between the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) following the fractured mandate in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. Speaking from his residence in Poes Garden, Chennai, he clarified that he has distanced himself from political affairs and has no role in any negotiations between the two major parties. Rajinikanth also addressed rumors of jealousy towards C Joseph Vijay, who recently became Tamil Nadu's chief minister after a notable electoral victory. He commended Vijay’s achievement, highlighting its significance against the backdrop of a long-standing political landscape dominated by the Dravidian parties for nearly 60 years. Rajinikanth noted that there is a generational gap of 20-25 years between them and emphasized that Vijay's success is even more remarkable than that of previous political figures like NT Rama Rao and MG Ramachandran. He urged the public to give Vijay a chance to prove himself in office over the next two years, reiterating his own decision to step back from politics due to health concerns.
