Tamil Nadu government: Vijay takes oath as Chief Minister

The Vijay swearing-in ceremony marked a major political moment in Tamil Nadu as TVK chief Vijay officially took oath as the State’s new Chief Minister after days of intense negotiations over government formation. The ceremony was held in Chennai in the presence of senior political leaders, party workers, and supporters gathered in large numbers.

Governor R.N. Ravi administered the oath to Vijay along with members of the new council of ministers. The development follows a closely contested election that produced a fractured mandate and triggered extensive alliance discussions across parties.

TVK forms government after alliance support

The Vijay swearing-in ceremony came after TVK secured support from Congress, VCK, and Left parties to cross the majority mark in the Assembly. The alliance backing enabled Vijay to stake claim to form the government after emerging as the single largest party in the election.

Political negotiations continued for several days before the final support letters were submitted to the Governor. The agreement reflected a broader anti-BJP alignment among opposition parties in the State.

Ceremony draws massive public attention

The Vijay swearing-in ceremony attracted thousands of supporters across Chennai, with heavy security arrangements made around the venue. Large crowds gathered outside key roads and public areas as party workers celebrated the beginning of the new government.

Several leaders from regional and national parties attended the event alongside film personalities and industry representatives. The ceremony also received significant attention on social media platforms throughout the day.

New Cabinet takes charge

The Vijay swearing-in ceremony also included the induction of ministers from alliance parties into the new Cabinet. Portfolios related to finance, education, health, and transport were allocated during the first phase of government formation.

Sources indicated that TVK retained key departments linked to administration and infrastructure. Additional portfolio discussions are expected to continue over the coming days.
