Tamil Nadu state Congress party's in-charge, Dinesh Gundu Rao claimed that "many of the BJP people" are associated with the Tamil superstar now. 

Rajinikanth's party is not yet registered, his proposed outfit's ideology and programme are not known and there is no clarity on whether it will fight next year's Assembly polls in Tamil Nadu independently or strike an electoral alliance, it is too early to make assessment on the impact of Rajinikanth's party in poll-bound Tamil Nadu, said Gundu Rao. "Once that clarity comes, we will be able to assess (the possible political impact of the party); right now, it's too early to say", the former Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee President told. 

"What is his party structure, what exactly he is going to do, no body knows", the Karnataka MLA and a former State Minister said. "Till then, how can we judge anything?" "Is he going to be with the BJP... what he wants to do...that all has to be seen", the son former Chief Minister late R Gundu Rao added. Kollywood superstar Rajinikanth announced on Thursday he would launch a political party in January 2021 to contest in the Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu.
