C Joseph Vijay took oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on May 10, amid enthusiastic support from his followers. His party, the Tamil Nadu Vaaniyars Katchi (TVK), emerged as the largest party in the recent Assembly elections, marking a significant shift in the state's political landscape that had long been dominated by the Dravidian parties, DMK and AIADMK. In his inaugural speech, Vijay declared that a new era of real, secular, social justice begins now, emphasizing his commitment to transparency and social welfare. He signed three immediate orders aimed at providing 200 units of free electricity, establishing a task force for women's safety, and addressing drug issues. Despite not securing an outright majority, Vijay formed a coalition government with support from Congress and other leftist parties, which is a historic move as it marks Congress's first involvement in Tamil Nadu governance in six decades. However, the diverse nature of his coalition raises questions about its stability and governance. The ceremony was attended by notable leaders and was characterized by a celebratory atmosphere, reflecting the high expectations of the public for Vijay's administration.
