Actor-politician Rajinikanth met Tamil Nadu Congress leader Thirunavukkarasar and VCK leader Thirumavalavan at the residence of the Congressman in Anna Nagar, Chennai. Reports say that Rajini was there to invite them for his daughter Soundarya's wedding on February 11. However, this has fuelled political speculation at a time when alliances are being formed ahead of Lok Sabha election. Thirunavukkarasar was recently removed from the post of state Congress president. And Thirumavalavan is still fighting for desired seats (Villupuram and Chidambaram) in the DMK alliance. But, to no avail. Is something brewing in the political corridors of Tamil Nadu?
