New Delhi: Tamil Nadu BJP on Tuesday down played reports of it wooing Tamil superstar Rajinikanth, but said that the actor was welcome to the party fold.
Tamil Nadu BJP president Tamilisai Soundararajan told PTI here that Rajinikanth was already in the good books of BJP and recalled his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, when the latter had visited Tamil Nadu for the Lok Sabha election campaign.
On media reports of BJP attempting to attract the ace actor and make him the chief ministerial candidate for the upcoming state Assembly elections, she said, “It is only a press message, an unauthorised message from the press. It is not the authorised press release from our party.
“But, already Rajinikanth in the good books of our party. Our Prime Minister, during his campaign met him,” she added. (PTI)
