Rajmohan, a leader of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), took the oath as a minister in the Tamil Nadu government on Sunday [1].
The appointment marks the official formation of a TVK-led administration following the party's success in securing a majority with coalition support [2]. This shift in leadership establishes a new political direction for the state.
The swearing-in ceremony took place on May 10, 2026 [3], at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai [4]. Rajmohan was one of nine TVK members who were sworn in as ministers during the event [1]. The ceremony served as the formal launch of the government under Chief Minister Vijay [2].
While the administration has now officially taken office, the government's stability remains subject to legislative verification. A floor test is scheduled to be conducted by May 13, 2026 [1]. This procedural step is required to confirm that the new government maintains the necessary support within the assembly.
The event was described as a mega event in Chennai, reflecting the significant public and political interest in the TVK's transition from a political movement to the governing body of Tamil Nadu [1]. The presence of high-profile figures underscored the coalition's strategic alignment as it begins its tenure.
“Rajmohan was one of nine TVK members who were sworn in as ministers”
The swearing-in of Rajmohan and his colleagues signifies the operational start of the TVK government. However, the upcoming floor test on May 13 is the critical hurdle; the administration must formally prove its majority to avoid a constitutional crisis or a call for new elections.
