Popular actor-turned-politician Vijay officially took oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on Saturday, marking a major shift in the state’s political landscape. The swearing-in ceremony was held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai in the presence of thousands of supporters, political leaders, celebrities, and party workers.

Tamil Nadu Governor R. N. Ravi administered the oath of office and secrecy to Vijay, who recently led his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, to a remarkable victory in the Assembly elections. The victory is being seen as a historic political development, ending the long-standing dominance of the state’s traditional Dravidian parties.

Large crowds gathered around the venue from early morning to witness the ceremony. Supporters waved party flags, carried posters of Vijay, and celebrated the moment with music and slogans. Security arrangements across Chennai were tightened to manage the massive turnout.

Several newly elected ministers also took oath alongside Vijay as members of the new cabinet. After assuming office, the Chief Minister reportedly held discussions with senior officials regarding the government’s immediate priorities. Sources said the administration plans to focus on employment generation, welfare measures, women’s safety, youth development, and improvements in education and healthcare sectors.

Vijay, who enjoyed immense popularity as a leading actor in the Tamil film industry before entering politics, thanked the people of Tamil Nadu for placing their trust in him. In his address, he promised transparent governance and pledged to work for the welfare of all sections of society.

Political analysts believe Vijay’s rise reflects changing voter preferences and the growing influence of new-generation leadership in Tamil Nadu politics. His transition from cinema superstar to chief minister has drawn nationwide attention and sparked widespread discussion across political circles.

The swearing-in ceremony was attended by leaders from various states, film personalities, and prominent public figures, making it one of the most talked-about political events in recent times.
