Rajinikanth's denouncement of J Jayalalithaa and her politics during the 1996 tamilnaduassembly election campaign caused her distress and defeat, actor Rajnikanth said on Sunday.
Speaking at a condolence meet for the late former Tamil Nadu chief minister+ organised by the Nadigar sangam (South Indian Artists' Association), the veteran actor said his campaign speech ensured AIADMK's defeat in 1996. "She was distressed because of my words. I was one of the main reasons why she lost in 1996," he said.
The superstar had famously said back then, "If Jayalalithaa is voted back to power, even God cannot save Tamil Nadu."
