Rajinikanth supports 'One India, One Election' proposal
Chennai, July 15 : At a time when major political parties in Tamil Nadu are opposed to the Central government's proposal of 'One India, One Election', actor-turned-politician Rajinikanth on Sunday came out in support of it.
Speaking to reporters here, Rajinikanth said 'One India, One Election' is a good idea as it would save time and money of political parties.
He also said a decision on contesting in the general elections will be taken later. Rajinikanth had earlier said his party would contest in the next assembly elections.
Queried about the proposed Chennai-Salem eight lane expressway, Rajinikanth said such projects would bring in industrial investments.
However, he said, the government should see that only minimum farm land is acquired for the project and the land owners are compensated to the extent that they feel happy.
Asked about Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Amit Shah's statement that there is a lot of corruption in Tamil Nadu, Rajinikanth ducked the question and said: "It is Shah's views and the media should ask him."
According to Rajinikanth, the state government could bring in bigger projects. He also gave a good performance certificate to Tamil Nadu School Education Minister K.A. Sengottaiyan.
He also said compared to other states in the country, the education system in Tamil Nadu is far better.

Primary teacher spends Rs 2.1 lakh, takes 17 students on air trip to Hyderabad for 100% attendance
Belagavi, November 9: A primary school teacher from Sonatti village in Belagavi district spent Rs 2.1 lakh from his savings to take 17 students on an air trip to Hyderabad as a reward for maintaining perfect attendance. Prakash Deyanna, a teacher at the Government Primary School in Sonatti, organized the trip on November 7, fulfilling a promise he had made to encourage regular attendance.
Located 11 kilometers from Belagavi city, the school had been struggling with low attendance rates, with many students often staying home to assist their daily wage-earning families. In an attempt to change this, Deyanna pledged to take the children on an air tour if they attended classes daily. Motivated by this unique offer, 17 students maintained perfect attendance throughout the term.
Deyanna, joined by three colleagues and the president of the School Development and Monitoring Committee (SDMC), accompanied the students on their trip, visiting popular sites in Hyderabad such as Ramoji Film City, Charminar, Snow World, Salar Jung Museum, and Golconda Fort.
Speaking about his initiative, Deyanna stated, "Traditional efforts to improve attendance weren't working, so I decided to try something new. It’s rewarding to see the children’s enthusiasm, and I’m happy to have been able to keep my word."
