The TN Congress, not surprisingly, arrived late to the party. For, the AIADMK supremo is not prepared to concede the nationalist space which she has acquired over the years,” the writers MC Rajan and T Murganandam say in the Sunday Express. But, even before the party could hope for a revival, Jayalalithaa is determined to snuff out any such attempt. “With her announcement on the government building the memorial for the late thespian, she has dealt a blow to the Congress, striving for a revival in Tamil Nadu. “Jayalalithaa respects Sivaji Ganesan and has acted with him in multiple movies,” she said.īut as the writers point out here, there could be more to this. Speaking to the The News Minute, AIADMK spokesperson CR Saraswathi said that there is no real politics behind the move. But his real achievement perhaps lies in the fact that even after his not-so-successful political stint he remains an unmatched cultural icon who cannot be ignored by political parties even today.Ī few weeks ago, Jayalalithaa had announced that a memorial will be built for Sivaji Ganesan in Adyar on a piece of land which was allotted in her earlier stint for the same.
Cherished by his fans with the same vigour almost 15 years after his death, Sivaji Ganesan, popularly known as ‘Nadigar Thilagam’ once dabbled in politics, with not much success. His loud and strong voice, great dialogue delivery skills and inimitable, stylish mannerisms are still the stuff of legend.
