“I have never imagined myself to be a chief minister even in my dreams and people of Tamil Nadu know this from 1996,” Rajinikanth said at a press conference here on Thursday.

The actor was referring to his 1996 campaign supporting the DMK-TMC alliance, which led to the ousting of AIADMK government headed by late J Jayalalithaa.
