Director Shankar, right from his first film, refused to fit into the traditional way of film making. Director Shankar came up with many innovative ideas of changing the political system in India. Nayak, The Real Hero, a journalist did challenge the traditional politicians and became the One Day Chief Minister.
Director Shankar did experiment with the idea of becoming a Chief Minister or the Prime Minister without starting a political party. People did accept that idea and did welcome it.
Rajinikanth, right from the beginning, refused to follow the traditional political path.
On the other hand, everybody else does follow the tradition.
Once you accept the tradition and start following the usual path, you will then become one of them. You can bring a little change; but you cannot transform the system.
The tradition is, start a political party; register it with the Election Commission of India; design a Flag for the party; get an election symbol; promote the election symbol. Then identify potential political partners and align with them.
The most recent politician is Kamal Haasan. Before Kamal Haasan, it was Arvind Kejriwal.
In the Anna Hazare movement, Arvind Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi graduated and entered into traditional politics. But they couldn't transform India.
Before Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, every leader understood the British Empire and tried to be part of it. But MK Gandhi refused to accept the empire and asked them to quit India. No leaders in Canada, Australia and South Africa did demand for the eviction of the British. Even in India, many leaders did oppose the Quit India movement.
So, in this time period, Rajinikanth is the most dangerous politician of India. He had already declared that he did enter into politics. But then Rajinikanth refused to follow the traditional way of doing politics on daily basis.
In fact, #OneNationOneElection fits very well into Rajinikanth policy.
Rajinikanth said, "In olden days, everyone did their daily work. When there was a war, then citizens were drafted into the army. Likewise, let us do our daily work. When there is an election, then let us contest in all constituencies."
That fits very well with #OneNationOneElection proposal.
Let's have The Election once in five years.
Just like the Olympics, World Cup, let us have The Election once in five years. Once the election is over, then let us all go back to our daily work.
With #OneNationOneElection all the news channel; both online and print media had to close down their business. Right now, as per the Constitution of India, election is like death; it can happen at any time.
The current Chief Minister of Tamilnadu had to validate it with his wife whether Edappadi Palanisamy is still the Chief Minister of Tamilnadu.
That uncertainty gives hope for all the future Chief Minister of Tamilnadu. Also, it keeps the politics as main entertainment for the news channel.
If we declare the war only once in five years, then no leaders would stand with the people in Tuthukudi. They will be active only in the election year.
In the current India, news channels are the main entertainment industry. With #OneNationOneElection all the news channels would go out of business.
The next person will be affected is, Amit Shah.
In the last four years, Amit Shah has been very active; in fact more active than the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Amit Shah had been busy with so many state elections in all these four years.
With the new formula, #OneNationOneElection Amit Shah would become like Cristiano Ronaldo. Once the elections are over, nobody bothers about Amit Shah. Amit Shah may join in his son's business or he may need to spend rest of his life in the modern BJP office in Delhi.
In 1945, Winston Churchill called for an early election. He thought that as he had already won the war, he could easily win the election. But all the political leaders joined hands and challenged Winston Churchill on India. Winston Churchill said freedom to India only over his dead body. All others were ready to shutdown the British Empire not only in India, but also other parts of the world. They won and Winston Churchill lost.
So, if you just leave the Constitution as it is, just like Vajpayee, Narendra Modi could come back again. If you change the Constitution, then along with Amit Shah, Narendra Modi also needs to spend rest of his life in the modern BJP Head Office in Delhi.
Coming back to Rajinikanth way of politics, it is obvious that Rajinikanth objective is not Tamilnadu; it is Delhi.
Have you noticed that recently, Rajinikanth started going to Bengal and Eastern India?
Rajinikanth has a very strong base in the Southern part of India. Rajinikanth used to go to Northern Himalayas. With the entertainment industry and with his ancestor links, Rajinikanth could connect with the Western part of India. Eastern part of India was the only missing thing. So, now Rajinikanth started going to Darjeeling, Belurmath and Calcutta.
Rajinikanth refused to meet with any politicians; on the other hand, Rajinikanth develops his connection with the people of India.
Director Shankar has two objectives; one is commercial; other is for the mother India.
Director Shankar would take Rajinikanth closer to the people of India; not just Tamilnadu.
The Robot 2.0 would be released in 7000 theaters in India. If that is possible, then Rajinikanth could contest in 500 plus Lok Sabha constituencies in India.
Down South, Rajinikanth could get 150 Lok Sabha seats.
Western, Northern and Eastern, Rajinikanth could get other 150 seats.
Entire Bollywood would go into the field and ask people to vote for the candidates of Rajinikanth.
Rajinikanth has the power and energy to transform India.
From people perspective, Rajinikanth would become the National Leader of India.
From politicians perspective, Rajinikanth is the most dangerous politician.
