"Titanic Hero of Tamil Nadu & son of India - dearest @superstarrajini #Rajinikanth! Rise, Rise, Rise!! It's high time & the right time! The nation is waiting with bated breath for @superstarrajini 's leap into constructive politics to shape the future of your people & nation," he said.

The people are with you and ready to join @superstarrajini and instead of joining anyone, it is best when others join you. Hope, wish & pray that after consulting with your family, dear ones & experts, you take the right decision soon - sooner the better, Sinha, a former union Shipping Minister, tweeted.

"I have always stood by @superstarrajini as a friend, supporter, well wishers & even guide. Even today, if I can be of any help or support..you can bank on me. I'm bankable, dependable & available to you - anytime & everytime. Regards to your family & long live @superstarrajini," he said making a personal appeal.
