“I’ll give my life for Thalapathy. He will certainly turn out to be the Chief Minister. The news channels may say many things, but definitely, he’s the one who will take the position. Irrespective of what number of obstacles come his way, he’ll face them and move forward. I feel deeply hurt. There shouldn’t be even a single police officer here. I don’t even know what to say. It’s an odd feeling altogether. After struggling a lot to return this far, it’s painful to see such people doing these sorts of things,” the fan said.
