Rajinikanth's new strategy during the lockdown - What for?

'This too shall pass' - this was the last message from Actor and political hopeful Rajinikanth concerning the Coronavirus outbreak in the state. One of the actors with strong stardoms in the cinema industry took to Twitter and appealed to the people on the occasion of Tamil New Year-April 14th, to stay safe and he complimented the frontline workers who are combating the virus. 

Rajinikanth was last seen in public on April 5, when he joined the rest of the nation in torching the candles to express the solidarity in the fight against the pandemic. However, he seemingly stayed off from joining the rest of the political leaders in providing the relief materials to the affected people. 

Most of the political parties in the state have been keeping themselves engaged with the people through providing the relief materials leaving the critics to raise the question on when Rajini would open his mark. Last time, he held a press meet during which he vowed that he would enter the politics after the revolution from the people to change the system.

One of his peers in the cinema industry, Kamal Haasan has been taking the prospect of carving him as a full-time politician as he has been slamming the center's move on the lockdown and recommending the ways to re-imagine India post the lockdown. From his side, Rajinikanth remained quite so is his Rajini Makkal Mandram, which has been getting tailored to reshape as a political party.  Kamal's party had also stepped on the ground in providing medical relief to the people. 

After each political party had occupied the grounds, our sources say that Rajinikanth has been looking to find a place for him too in providing relief materials. The sources revealed that Rajini has now directed the members of the Makkal Mandram to supply the relief measures to the affected people. 

He has directly been dialing to the district secretaries and instructing them to provide the materials. Although he directed the members to be on the ground, the actor is yet to contribute to the Chief Minister's Relief Fund while some of the second line actors like Ajith and Sivakarthikeyan had already contributed, which raised speculations and questions from the critics.
