Tamil Nadu Government Formation Updates: Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) Chief C Joseph Vijay took oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on Sunday.
Amid continuous whistling by TVK cadres and in the presence of senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Vijay took oath in the name of God. His ministers too, took oath in the name of God, unlike many in the outgoing DMK regime. Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar administered the oath of office and secrecy to Vijay and his council of ministers.
A 9-member cabinet, an amalgamation of youth and experience, was also sworn-in to assist the CM in administration.
In his maiden speech after swearing-in, Vijay assured there will be only one power centre in his regime and that will be only him. Further, a new beginning, new era has started.
“There is only one centre here, the centre under my leadership. A centre on this side, a power center on that side, another power center there – none of that exists, I’m telling you right now,” he said.
Vijay was sworn-in as CM of Tamil Nadu, after his party TVK won the April 23 polls and clinched outside support to cross the 118 majority mark.
