Rajinikanth’s ‘vacuum’ jibe invites stinging AIADMK counterattack

The ruling AIADMK denied any leadership vacuum in Tamil Nadu as alleged by Rajinikanth and said the actor was a long way from becoming state’s chief minister as he needed to work hard and long for it like MG Ramachandran.
Tamil Nadu chief minister and party join-coordinator Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS) said the recent bypoll victories had proven that AIADMK had filled “the vacuum” Rajinikanth referred to.
“In the two-seat bypolls in October, AIADMK candidates defeated the DMK candidates. So, it is proof that there is no leadership vacuum in Tamil Nadu,” EPS said.
On friday night while thanking Vikravandi and Nanguneri voters for electing AIADMK candidates. Bypolls on these assembly seats were held on October 21.

Rajinikanth had claimed earlier in the day that death of former chief ministers, J Jayalalithaa and M Karunanidhi, had left a void in state politics.
