Rajinikanth promises to sponsor studies of TN boy, who returned Rs 50,000
Yasin, the 7-year-old boy from Erode has been showered with praise for his honesty. The little boy handed over a bag containing Rs 50,000 that he had found to the police through his school authorities last week. But possibly one of the biggest plaudits Yasin has received came to him on Sunday, from none other than superstar Rajinikanth.
Speaking to the media with Yasin held close to him, Rajinikanth praised the child’s honesty and agreed to sponsor the rest of his education.
"In this age where people cheat, thieve and kill even for a little money, he (Yasin) said that this is not my money and handed it over. What honesty, really. It is a great quality," Rajinikanth told media persons outside his residence in Chennai’s Poes Garden.
The actor also praised Yasin's parents, who were also standing next to him, and conveyed his heartfelt wishes to them.
On sponsoring his future, Rajinikanth said, "He is studying in a government school now. So let him continue studying there. After this, whatever he desires to study I will sponsor him. He is a big inspiration to everyone and every child,"
Rajinikanth also invited Yasin and his family - his parents and older brother - and spent time with them at his Poes Garden residence. A smiling Yasin and Rajinikanth were photographed talking to his parents, with the little one seated on the actor's lap.
Yasin is a Class 2 student in the Panchayat Union Primary School in Chinna Semur near Kani Ravuthar Kulam in Erode district. On Thursday morning, he spotted a wallet near a speed breaker on the road leading to his school. It had Rs 50,000 in 100 Rs 500 currency notes. He picked it up and handed it over to the headmaster of his school, who took him to meet the Superintendent of Police (SP) Sakthi G.
The SP praised the boy and his teachers for the gesture and directed the police to help the boy out in whatever way possible. The police, in turn, gifted school uniforms and other utilities to the boy.

New govt in Maharashtra to be formed on Dec 5, Fadnavis frontrunner for CM post: BJP leader
Mumbai (PTI): Mahayuti alliance's new government in Maharashtra will be formed on December 5 with Devendra Fadnavis emerging as the frontrunner to become the next chief minister again, a senior BJP leader said on Saturday.
In the November 20 Maharashtra assembly polls, the Mahayuti alliance of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) retained power, pocketing a whopping 230 of the 288 assembly seats. The BJP emerged as the single largest party, winning 132 seats, followed by Shiv Sena with 57 and NCP with 41 seats.
However, even after the announcement of poll results a week ago (on November 23), the formation of the government has been delayed as the tripartite alliance is yet to decide on who will be the next chief minister. Shinde, Fadnavis and Pawar met BJP president J P Nadda and Union minister Amit Shah late Thursday to discuss a power-sharing pact for the next government.
A key Mahayuti meeting scheduled on Friday was put off and likely to take place on Sunday now as caretaker Chief Minister Eknath Shinde headed to his native village in Satara district, delaying government formation further.
The BJP leader, who did not wish to be quoted, said the swearing-in of the new government will take place on December 5.
Senior BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis, who was the chief minister twice and deputy chief minister in the last government, is the frontrunner for the top post, the leader said.
Another senior BJP leader said the chief minister's swearing-in ceremony will take place at Azad Maidan in south Mumbai.
But before that, a meeting will be held on December 2 to pick the BJP legislature party leader, he said.
Caretaker CM Shinde has made it clear that he will fully support BJP leadership's decision to name the next CM, and that he won't be a hurdle in the process, while Ajit Pawar-led NCP has backed Fadnavis for the chief minister's post.
In the assembly elections, Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) suffered a setback. The grand old party registered one of its worst performances in the state assembly polls after it won only 16 seats. Sharad Pawar's NCP (SP) could bag only 10 seats, whereas Uddhav Thackeray's (UBT) won 20.
