Rajini fans say it aloud through posters in Madurai

Political posters that were removed from the walls of Madurai have slowly started reappearing post elections. But the biggest of them have been put up by tamil film icon Rajnikant's fans asking their star why he is hesitant to enter politics. Madurai is a city known for its poster culture and the 2011 election period was the only time when all the walls in and around the city looked bare.
There were even reports that people found it difficult to identify a few of the city's landmarks as they had been stripped of their posters. On Sunday, Rajni fans in Madurai decided to tell him what was on their mind through flex banners, which were more than 20 feet in length.`You are fit to rule the white house, so why are you hesitating to rule the secretariat', shouted out posters across the city.

R Shankaran, a Rajni fan in Arapalayam said that he was fed up of voting for just any political party of his choice. "We know our superstar has something in his mind. It would be better if he told us what to do. We can become the biggest political force in Tamil Nadu," he said. P Velu, another fan says that it is high time Rajni entered politics to cleanse the system and serve the people. "We will win hands down," he added. Meanwhile, the AIADMK has also put up posters, depicting Lord Kalazhagar's blessing to see `Amma on the throne of Tamil Nadu'.

Colourful though the posters maybe, the Election Commission, is not amused. "The model code of conduct is still in effect," said Praveen Kumar, the Chief Electoral Officer of Tamil Nadu. "Posters on the other hand, are banned even when elections are not at hand, as per the Tamil Nadu Open Places (Prevention of Disfigurement) Act, 1959. We shall ask the district collector to look into the matter,"
