Following the announcement of a new political movement by former Tamil Nadu BJP chief K. Annamalai, Latha Rajinikanth, the wife of superstar Rajinikanth, has launched a new social platform called “Makkal Medai” (People’s Forum). Latha Rajinikanth invited anyone interested in social welfare to join the platform. This official announcement came immediately after Annamalai mentioned Rajinikanth’s name during his press conference, sparking intense political curiosity in Tamil Nadu.

During his announcement, Annamalai stated that he had entered the BJP with Rajinikanth’s blessings. However, political observers note that Latha Rajinikanth’s swift launch of an independent social movement indicates that Rajinikanth is not associated with Annamalai’s new venture. Annamalai revealed that his decision to leave the BJP stemmed from differences with the central leadership, particularly regarding his recommendation that the party contest the Tamil Nadu assembly elections alone. His new movement, operating under the banner “The Movement Belongs to the People” through his existing “We the Leader” initiative, reportedly gained over five lakh members within its first few hours.
