On December 3, when Rajinikanth confirmed his entry into the electoral fray in Tamil Nadu one of the two persons flanking him was Arjunamurthy, who till that morning was the secretary of the state BJP’s intellectual wing. He had faxed his resignation to the state BJP president before appearing in front of news cameras along with Rajinikanth at the star-politician’s Poes Garden home. Though many saw that as a confirmation of Rajinikanth’s BJP connection, Arjunamurthy is too much of a lightweight to make a difference to the superstar’s game plan. Many suspect he could be the BJP’s mole.
