TVK Vijay Oath Taking Ceremony Live Updates: PM Modi speaks to TVK's Vijay, congratulates him on taking oath as TN CM
TVK chief Vijay on Sunday took oath as Tamil Nadu’s new chief minister after securing the support of the VCK and IUML, taking the number of MLAs backing him to 120 — two above the majority mark of 118.
Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam secured recognition as an official political party after crossing 50 lakh votes in its debut Tamil Nadu assembly election, an unprecedented entry for a first-time contestant.
Party founder and actor Vijay personally led from the front, holding strong leads in both Perambur and Trichy East constituencies.
The results marked a significant shift in Tamil Nadu's political landscape, signalling that the state's voters are open to a credible third alternative beyond the DMK-AIADMK duopoly.
MGR, the biggest crossover star from cinema to Tamil Nadu politics, never drank or smoked on screen. He was fair complexioned. For someone who claims to be the next MGR in Tamil Nadu politics, Vijay did - on screen - everything that MGR didn't: he played an alcoholic professor, a gangster, and a morally conflicted man. Yet, he seems to be on the way to becoming the next MGR in politics.
Vijay was a contrarian through his campaign: he avoided media interviews and did fewer public shows than chief minister M K Stalin and opposition leader Edappadi K Palaniswami. On the last day of the campaign, he blew a whistle (his party symbol) and offered a quid pro quo: "Give me one thing I ask - your vote - and I will give you all you ask for five years."
In a major political development, Amma Makkal Munnettra Kazagam (AMMK) on Friday extended its support to All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) in Tamil Nadu, while urging the Governor to invite the party to form the government.
In a letter addressed to the Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, AMMK General Secretary TTV Dhinakaran wrote that the party supports AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi Palanisami's claim to form the government. He urged the Governor to invite EPS to form the government and "be sworn in as the Chief Minister of the state."
AMMK secured only 1 seat in the assembly elections. Dhinakaran, in the letter, said that MLA-elect Kamaraj S, supports the party stance.
"I, TTV Dhinakaran, General Secretary of Amma Makkal Munnettra Kazagam hereby extend my full support to the claim of Thiru. Edappadi K.Palaniswami to form the new Government of the State of Tamil Nadu. Our Party Candidate Mr.Kamaraj.S who contested in Mannargudi Constituency (167) have been elected as MLA of the Constituency. Mr.Kamaraj.S MLA of Mannargudi Constituency (167) have also signed this Letter in support of the above claim. It is humbly requested that Thiru Edappadi K.Palaniswami be invited to form the new Government and be sworn in as the Chief Minister, of the State of Tamil Nadu," the letter read.

Former AIADMK leader MV Karuppaiah sworn in as Tamil Nadu Assembly Pro-tem Speaker
TVK MLA MV Karuppaiah, who was elected from the Sholavandan Assembly constituency, was sworn in as the Pro-tem Speaker of the Tamil Nadu legislative assembly ahead of the first session of the newly elected House. Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar administered the oath to Karuppaiah at a ceremony held at Lok Bhavan in Chennai in the presence of chief minister C Joseph Vijay.
Karuppaiah, a former AIADMK leader, joined the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) earlier this year after being sidelined in his former party. He had earlier represented the Sholavandan (Reserved) constituency as an AIADMK MLA between 2011 and 2016. Denied party tickets in the 2016 and 2021 Assembly elections, Karuppaiah later switched to TVK and was fielded by Vijay in the 2026 polls, where he returned victorious from the constituency.
As Pro-tem Speaker, Karuppaiah will administer the oath to newly elected MLAs and oversee the initial proceedings of the 234-member Assembly, whose first session is scheduled to begin on Monday. The election for Speaker and Deputy Speaker will be held on May 12.
TVK emerged as the single largest party in the Assembly elections with 108 seats and formed the government with the support of Congress, VCK, CPI, CPI(M) and IUML, ending decades of alternating rule by the DMK and AIADMK in Tamil Nadu.

Vijay promises clean governance, women‘s safety, and welfare in first address as Tamil Nadu CM
In an emotional and politically charged first address after assuming office as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on Sunday, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) President C. Joseph Vijay promised transparent governance, women’s safety, welfare-oriented administration, and a corruption-free government, while thanking the people for placing their trust in him.
Addressing a massive gathering shortly after taking oath at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium here, Vijay said he rose from ordinary circumstances and was not born into political privilege.
"Greetings to everyone who resides in my heart," he began, and went on to recall his long journey from cinema to politics. He said he was the son of an assistant film director and understood poverty and hunger firsthand.
"I am not someone who comes from a royal political background. I am one among you. I feel like your son, your brother, your younger sibling. It is because you felt the same way that you brought me to this position," he said.
The newly sworn-in Chief Minister became emotional while thanking the people for standing by him through criticism, humiliation and political attacks. He said the overwhelming public support had transformed C. Joseph Vijay from an individual into a larger political reality.

TVK chief Vijay on Sunday took oath as Tamil Nadu’s new chief minister after securing the support of the VCK and IUML, taking the number of MLAs backing him to 120 — two above the majority mark of 118.
The breakthrough came after VCK chief Thol Thirumavalavan announced that his party, which has two MLAs, would support Vijay. Soon after, the IUML, which also has two legislators in the 234-member assembly, extended its backing to the actor-turned-politician.
Both parties have offered unconditional support to Vijay ahead of the swearing-in ceremony.
The announcements of support came just as Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Arlekar was preparing to leave for Kerala, where he also serves as governor. Vijay subsequently met Arlekar — their fourth meeting in four days — and finally succeeded in staking claim to form the government.
Vijay will head Tamil Nadu’s first non-Dravidian government since 1967.
In the recently concluded assembly elections, TVK, formed in February 2024, emerged as the single-largest party with 108 seats. The DMK, which lost power, secured 59 constituencies, while its arch-rival AIADMK saw 47 of its candidates win.
Falling short of the majority mark, Vijay first reached out to the Congress, which agreed to back him on the condition that TVK would not align with what it described as “communal forces." Subsequently, the Left parties announced their support.
Congress won five seats in the elections, while the Left parties — CPI and CPM — together have four legislators in the assembly. Vijay, who was elected from both Perambur and Trichy East, will have to resign from one of the two seats, as electoral rules allow a legislator to represent only one constituency.
