'God and Goddess' for Supporters, Temple Dedicated to Jayalalithaa, MG Ramachandran to be Inaugurated Today

‘God and Goddess’ for Supporters, Temple Dedicated to Jayalalithaa, MG Ramachandran to be Inaugurated Today FOLLOW US ON: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Palaniswami on Saturday will inaugurate a temple in Madurai dedicated to the former CM Jayalalithaa and her political mentor MG Ramachandran (MGR). The inauguration of the temple comes as the state goes for assembly elections in few months. It is the first time that such an event is taking place since the death of AIADMK chief Jayalalithaa in 2016. Shashikala, Jayalalithaa's aide, has completed her sentence and has been released from jail after 4 years. The temple, which was commissioned by the state Revenue Minister RB Udhayakumar whom Jayalalithaa had first inducted into the cabinet -- has been constructed on a one-and-a-half-acre plot near the city's T Kallupatti area at a cost of Rs 50 lakh. It contains bronze statues of the two leaders.

What Rajinikanth factor would mean in the 2021 Tamil Nadu elections

Rajnikanth is likely to cut into AIADMK votes. | PTI Every time Rajinikanth makes an announcement about the possibility of entering politics, there is an artificial buzz pressed by his fan club and the popular Tamil media. These two groups, along with his film publicity team, have long made a business out of the star’s career in Tamil cinema. But despite the attempts to portray parallels between him and the popular cine idol-turned-political MG Ramachandran, Rajinikanth is neither an icon that Tamil society looks up to nor a phenomenon like MGR. This sudden aura of indispensability around Rajnikanth has been engineered by the desperate Bharatiya Janata Party in Tamil Nadu because of the party’s lack of a political identity and the fact that it has been unable to make common cause with the people and issues in Tamil Nadu politics.
