Alagiri meets Rajinikanth sparking fresh political speculations

Suspended Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) leader M.K. Alagiri met Tamil superstar Rajinikanth on Friday fueling fresh speculations about his immediate political plans and future.

"We were discussing a personal matter," said Alagiri, after meeting Rajinikanth at his residence.

On Thursday, Alagiri had met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi amid speculations that he might be launching his own party very soon.
