(File photo)The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is trying to “woo” Tamil superstar Rajinikanth in its bid to make inroads into Tamil Nadu, the Communist Party of India (CPI) alleged on Wednesday. The BJP currently has a marginal presence in Tamil Nadu, where the political sphere is mainly dominated by the two regional players, the AIADMK and the DMK. He reiterated that the BJP was trying to “fish in troubled waters” in Tamil Nadu after the death of Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa in December last year and saw its effort to “woo” Rajinikanth as one such attempt.
