Tamil superstar Rajinikanth on Sunday supported the Centre's idea of holding simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and state assemblies, saying it would save time and money.

Talking to the media, he also backed the proposed Rs 10,000 crore greenfield Chennai-Salem eight-lane highway, being opposed by some quarters, and said such big projects should be taken up for the development of the country. "Holding polls together is definitely a welcome move. It should come. It will save time and money," the actor said.
