In a remarkable display of political prowess, Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay conquered his inaugural assembly challenge, clinching a confidence motion with an impressive margin of 144-22. The victory was enhanced by DMK's strategic walkout and the endorsement from a segment of AIADMK legislators. Vijay expressed heartfelt appreciation for the support, heralding a pivotal advancement for his administration.

A faction of AIADMK, led by S.P. Velumani and C.V. Shanmugam, has announced support for Chief Minister Vijay's TVK government ahead of a crucial floor test. This move comes amid internal rifts within AIADMK over potential alliances, with the faction opposing any tie-up with DMK. Vijay is working to secure the required majority with support from various parties.

AMMK MLA S Kamaraj has extended support to Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) government, a day after his party chief accused the TVK of forging his signature. This move follows a rebel AIADMK faction also announcing support, significantly strengthening Vijay's administration amidst ongoing political realignments in Tamil Nadu.

AMMK leader T T V Dhinakaran has questioned the authenticity of a video showing his party's winning candidate, S Kamaraj, supporting actor Vijay's TVK to form the government. Dhinakaran alleged the video is AI-generated and demanded an inquiry into the forged letter submitted to the Governor.

Congress has cautioned Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay against incorporating rebel AIADMK members into his government. Karti Chidambaram stressed that the public mandate was for a government independent of both AIADMK and DMK. Inducting the splinter group, he warned, would significantly damage Vijay's goodwill and credibility, urging him to remain true to the electoral mandate.

C Joseph Vijay was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu by Governor R V Arlekar on Sunday morning. Several of his party colleagues also took the oath as ministers. The event, which began with 'Vande Mataram' instead of 'Tamil Thaai Vaazhthu', saw the presence of Rahul Gandhi and other notable figures.

Calling it “a mockery of democracy”, Dhinakaran said he had urged the governor to take serious note of the developments. He submitted a representation seeking an invitation for AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami to form the next govt.

C. Joseph Vijay was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, marking a significant transition from cinema to public service.

C Joseph Vijay was sworn in as Tamil Nadu's 9th Chief Minister, marking a historic shift from the DMK and AIADMK dominance. He pledged "real secularism and social justice," immediately signing orders for free electricity and establishing task forces for women's safety and anti-narcotics.

On Sunday, C Joseph Vijay will officially be inaugurated as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, leading a cabinet of 11 MLAs. Governor R V Arlekar has challenged Vijay to solidify his majority by May 13. With backing from Congress, VCK, IUML, and Left factions, Vijay is set to establish a reliable government, effectively avoiding the need for upcoming elections.

VCK leader Thol Thirumavalavan and Left party leaders criticized Tamil Nadu Governor R. V. Arlekar for not inviting TVK leader Vijay to form the government. They alleged this was a BJP-led Union government attempt to complicate state politics and Vijay's position, calling the Governor's action unacceptable and unconstitutional.

Chennai police heightened security at Marina Beach, deploying personnel and barricades to prevent potential protests by Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam supporters. The party, led by Vijay, won 108 seats but awaits an invitation to form the government. Authorities aim to maintain order and deter unauthorized gatherings.

For actor-turned-politician C Joseph Vijay, the days following the May 4 Tamil Nadu assembly election results were less about celebration and more about survival arithmetic. TVK emerged as the single-largest party with 108 seats in the 234-member assembly, placing Vijay within striking distance of the chief minister’s chair but still 10 short of the majority mark of 118.

Following TVK's electoral success, AIADMK factions engaged in backroom dealings to form a government, with one group attempting to ally with TVK while the party's general secretary sought a tie-up with DMK. These maneuvers ultimately failed as Left parties opted to support TVK, thwarting the Dravidian majors' plans.
