In Tamil Nadu, Congress has joined the state cabinet under Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay’s TVK-led government, marking a rare return to power-sharing after decades. Two Congress MLAs, S Rajesh Kumar and P Viswanathan, were sworn in as ministers with tourism and higher education portfolios respectively. During the oath ceremony, Rajesh Kumar’s praise of Congress leaders was gently interrupted by the Governor, who reminded him of protocol. The cabinet expansion included 23 new ministers, strengthening TVK’s alliance with Congress and smaller parties.
