Actor-turned-politician Rajinikanth, who was recently discharged from a hospital, has announced that he won’t be entering politics citing health reasons.
Discharged from the Apollo Hospitals in Hyderabad on Sunday after being treated for blood pressure fluctuations, the Tamil mega-star said that he will continue to work for people.
Taking to Twitter, Rajinikanth said that he doesn’t want to make the people who believe in him feel like a scapegoat, however, his recent health conditions have come as a warning. He said that he takes the recent development over his health condition as a warning from God and he will not go ahead with his plans to take the political plunge for the Tamil Nadu assembly elections next year.
“Therefore, I inform with great regret I am unable to come to politics by floating a political party. Only I know the pain behind making this announcement,” the 70-year-old actor said in a statement, months after he said he will float his own outfit in January and face the 2021 Tamil Nadu Assembly polls.
Post-discharge from the hospital, the actor has been advised to take complete bed rest. The hospital has advised the actor to avoid stress and indulge only in minimal physical activities.
