Tamil Superstar Rajinikanth has got good terms with BJP. Besides, BJP's high command tried its best to get the Superstar join the party. But then, Rajini bailed out the attempts of the party saying no. Hitherto, Rajini was also honoured with Padma Vibhushan by the Government to woo Rajini's fans.
And recently, it was rumoured that Rajini would be made President of India soon to capture the vote bank of Tamil Nadu and other Southern states. Although these gossips were spread like wildfire, BJP appeared to have got not that positive responses due to various political reasons.
And the latest we heard is that Shivsena proposed senior politician Sharad Pawar's name for presidential candidature and is forcing BJP to support their proposal. Earlier, several other names such as Amitabh Bachchan, Advani, Ramoji Rao etc. were heard as presidential candidatures but were ruled out for various political reasons.
