C. Joseph Vijay, the leader of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, marking a historic shift in the state's political landscape. This event signifies the first government formation outside the Dravidian parties, DMK and AIADMK, in nearly six decades. The TVK secured 108 seats in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly and, with the support of coalition partners including Congress, CPI, CPI(M), Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), and Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), achieved a total of 120 seats. The swearing-in ceremony took place at Chennai's Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, amid heightened security, with Vijay expected to prove his majority in the Assembly by May 13. Vijay's political emergence is seen as a revival of actor-led movements in Tamil Nadu, drawing comparisons to former Chief Minister MG Ramachandran. His campaign emphasized social justice and inclusive governance, resonating with voters seeking change. Family and supporters expressed optimism about his leadership, anticipating a new chapter in Tamil Nadu's governance.
