Superstar Rajinikanth has decided to launch his long-anticipated political party in January, five months before the Tamil Nadu election. In a tweet, he said he would announce the launch date on December 31.## "We will surely win the assembly polls and give honest, transparent, corruption-free, spiritual politics without caste, and creed. A wonder and miracle will definitely happen," Rajinikanth tweeted with hashtags "It's now or never" and "We will change, we will change everything" (translated from Tamil).## "I never go back on the promises I make. Political change is necessary. It is the need of the hour. If it is not done now, it will be never done. For this, I urge people to stand by me. Together we will bring change", Rajinikanth said in Chennai as per ANI. ## ஜனவரியில் கட்சித் துவக்கம்,டிசம்பர் 31ல் தேதி அறிவிப்பு. #மாத்துவோம்_எல்லாத்தையும்_மாத்துவோம்#இப்போ_இல்லேன்னா_எப்பவும்_இல்ல 🤘🏻 pic.twitter.com/9tqdnIJEml— Rajinikanth (@rajinikanth) December 3, 2020 ## Rajinikanth made the announcement three days after he met with senior office bearers of his forum, the Rajini Makkal Mandram. "District office bearers expressed their opinions. They have said they will agree to whatever decision I take. I will announce my decision as soon as possible," he told reporters outside his Poes Garden home as reported by NDTV. ## Rajinikanth went on social media in October to clarify on reports that he was in two minds about his political plans because of his health. It was understood that the veteran actor had been advised by doctors to restrict his movements since his renal transplant and could be even more vulnerable to COVID-19. The doctors reportedly advised him that a vaccine was the only solution and they were not sure if his body would even accept it.## Before the meeting on Monday, his fans put up posters saying: "It's now or never".## Stay tuned...
