Actor-turned-politician Vijay is set to take the oath of office as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu today at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai. After a period of political uncertainty, Vijay's party, the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, emerged as the single-largest party in the recent elections, winning 108 seats in the 234-member Assembly. He has secured the necessary support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), bringing his coalition's strength to 120 seats. The Governor of Tamil Nadu, Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, has directed Vijay to prove his majority in the Assembly by May 13. This event is significant as it marks the first time in nearly 60 years that a government not affiliated with the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) or the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) will take power in the state, indicating a major shift in Tamil Nadu's political dynamics.
