Vijay, the chief of the Tamil Nadu-based Thalapathy Vijay Katchi (TVK) party, will be sworn in as Chief Minister on Sunday at 10 AM at Nehru Stadium in Chennai. His ascension follows a series of meetings with Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, where he presented proof of support from 120 MLAs. This includes unconditional backing from the VCK (Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi) and IUML (Indian Union Muslim League) parties, allowing him to surpass the majority mark.
