The Tamil Nadu Assembly’s first session will convene on Monday with Pro-tem Speaker M.V. Karuppaiah administering oaths to MLAs. This follows actor-turned-politician Vijay’s swearing-in as Chief Minister, marking a historic shift as his TVK party ended decades of DMK-AIADMK dominance in the state.
Vijay met Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar after securing Left party support to stake claim for government formation. With backing from Congress and Left allies, TVK’s tally has risen close to the majority mark
