Thalapathy Vijay sworn in as CM

In a historic political shift, cinema icon C. Joseph Vijay has been sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu following a decisive electoral victory for his party, the TVK. Vijay's inauguration was met with massive celebrations across the state, with fans and supporters hailing the start of a new political era.

In his first official act, the new Chief Minister announced a series of welfare measures, including 200 units of free electricity for all domestic households.

While the transition has been celebrated by many, analysts warn that Vijay faces significant challenges in navigating the state's complex political landscape and fulfilling his ambitious campaign promises.

The new government is expected to face its first major test in a looming floor vote later this month.
