Vijay preparing for politics?
While Rajinikanth fans are consoling themselves over their hero's delay to step into politics, Vijay fans are rejoicing over the actor's recent confirmation that he will get into politics – it's just a matter of time and readiness.
In the wake of his 50th movie's release, Vijay revealed to the press that he is preparing himself and his Makkal Iyakam for politics. “Politics is a an ocean with huge tidal waves. One cannot blindly take the plunge. You have to be well equipped to face the trials and challenges that a life in politics is filled with. So right now I am learning and understanding the ways of politics and our system. I am also preparing my Makkal Iyakam for the same. When I am confident in myself and the people want me to get into politics I will surely get in. Then there will be no turning back,” he said in a recent press meeting.
He added, “It's the people of Tamil Nadu and their love that has helped me achieve so much in life. Fighting for their cause and helping them come up in life is the only way I can repay them for their kindness, and I will never hesitate to do so. The youngsters have accepted me as their friend and brother, the elders see me as their son, as one in their family. They believe in me. I will not fail them.”
Vijay's Makkal Iyakam is currently involved in social work such as providing computers to impoverished families, educating their children and even financing and conducting marriages. Vijay opines that since he has not publicized these activities, his organization is able to continue their good work without any distraction or hindrance.
