THALA = MALA, "ONLY AJITH IS EQUAL TO RAJINI" - AIADMK MINISTER ABOUT VIJAY-RAJINI CLASH!

Talking about the budget presented by the State Government, Rajendra Balaji noted that this was just a start - the introductory budget for the years in the coming decade where AIADMK will rule. When asked about Kamal Haasan's comment on a weak budget, he mentioned that he would first want to see how Kamal Haasan would manage the budget of a Panchayat.

About IT Raids on Actor Vijay and whether it was a move on the actor because of his strong comments, Minister Rajendra Balaji mentioned that there are no political influences on the action of IT Departments, and that it functions as an independent body.

Another question arose on whether Vijay was targeted because he was rising equal to Rajinikanth, for which the minister replied that no one could come equal to Rajinikanth. If so, then that would only be Ajith, he added.
