BJP MLA demands Bharat Ratna for Superstar Rajinikanth
Anil is also asking the Maharashtra state government to confer Rajinikanth the state's highest honour  - the Maharashtra Bhushan.
Â
Gote called the Maharashtra-born Rajinikanth as a 'Son of the Soil' and requested the Maharashtra Assembly to consider passing a resolution demanding the central government award the superstar.
Â
The BJP MLA's demand has taken everyone by surprise as the government has already honoured Rajinikanth with India's second highest civilian award, the Padma Vibhushan, earlier this year.Â
Â
In 2000 he was also honoured with the Padma Bhushan.
