Rajnikanth most welcome to join Cong: Rahul

I: Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said that Tamil superstar Rajnikanth was welcome to join the party.

"He is most welcome to come. We don't put any roadblocks," Gandhi told reporters here.

The Congress had an 'open system'. The party was ready to welcome anyone so long as that person is not a criminal, he said, adding, 'I do not think Rajnikanth is a criminal".

"Our system is open to anybody who wants to enter it. The only barrier we put is the barrier of criminality," the Congress leader, whose visit to Tamil Nadu is seen as an effort to rejuvenate the party apparatus in the state and woo the youth, said.

"However, we are not reaching out to any particular person."

Rajnikanth has not revealed his mind on his political inclinations but his fans want him to float a party. Though he has kept off politics, he has had meetings with top national leaders, including BJP leader L K Advani who called on the actor early this year, sparking speculations.
