C Joseph Vijay, who recently took the oath as Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister, met with former Chief Minister MK Stalin today. This meeting follows Vijay's significant election victory on May 4, which ended the long-standing political dominance of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK). While the details of their discussion remain undisclosed, visuals showed Vijay greeting Stalin respectfully. Stalin, who had previously congratulated Vijay, advised him to focus on fulfilling promises to the electorate rather than blaming the previous government for the state's financial challenges. He emphasized that Tamil Nadu's debt is manageable and highlighted the welfare initiatives undertaken during his administration, despite facing adversities like the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters. Stalin reiterated that the financial position of the state was transparent and within permissible limits, urging the new government to demonstrate the will to govern effectively.
