Hyderabad: Recently returned from his spiritual journey in the Himalayas, Rajinikanth is now en route to Delhi after receiving a special invitation to attend Prime Minister Narendra Modi's oath-taking ceremony. Departing for the national capital earlier this morning, the superstar expressed his thoughts on Modi's re-election for a third consecutive term.
Speaking to the press before his departure, Rajinikanth remarked in Tamil, "Narendra Modi's third consecutive term as Prime Minister is a remarkable achievement. My heartfelt congratulations to him. The recent elections have also resulted in the emergence of a strong opposition, which is healthy sign of good democracy. I have also received an invitation to attend Chandrababu Naidu's swearing-in ceremony as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. I will keep you updated on my plans regarding that."
Rajinikanth's equitable praise for both the ruling party and the opposition reflects his balanced approach to politics. Despite his decision not to enter politics formally, his presence at such significant political events underscores his influence and respect in India. Notably, Rajinikanth is reportedly the only actor from the South to be invited to Modi's ceremony, scheduled to take place at Rashtrapati Bhawan later today (June 9), around 7:15 PM.
