Vijay will take the oath of Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu today at 10 AM. Through this event, the actor turned politician and his Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam party had a tremendous political success. The state got to its swearing in ceremony following days of political talks and government formation efforts. The TVK party faced other challenges when it came into power. Vijay’s party won 108 seats in the 234 member assembly, but it was not a majority to win, though he was the largest party.

The political situation changed when the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) party and Congress and CPI and CPI and IUML joined the alliance who now control 120 MLAs. Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar then invited Vijay to form the Government. Also, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is said to be invited to the big event. Authorities set up heavy security around the city to safeguard the ceremony in Chennai. TVK supporters began to gather outside party offices and the venue early in the morning. Political analysts call it a historic change in Tamil Nadu politics. Vijay will be the first leader, who is outside the DMK-AIADMK political system, to lead the state government since 1967. The new government will be put to its first major test in the Assembly before May 13 to prove its majority.
