C Joseph Vijay has officially taken office as the 13th Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, marking a significant change in the state's political landscape. During his inaugural address at Chennai’s Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium, he emphasized the importance of transparency and social justice, promising to release a white paper detailing the state’s fiscal situation, which he described as burdened by over ₹10 lakh crore in debt. Vijay, who has garnered significant support from younger voters, referred to them affectionately as 'Vijay Mama' and pledged to work for their future. The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party, which he leads, made history by winning 108 of 234 seats in the recent elections, although it required support from alliance partners like the Congress party to achieve a governing majority. This shift marks the first time traditional Dravidian parties have been ousted from power in Tamil Nadu.
