Actor Trisha Krishnan attended the oath-taking ceremony for C. Joseph Vijay as he became the chief minister of Tamil Nadu on May 10, 2024 [3].
The event marks a significant transition of power in the state, as the Tamil Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party moves from a political entity into the governing body of the region.
Vijay was sworn in at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai [1, 2]. The ceremony began at 10 a.m. [3]. The TVK chief assumed leadership after securing the support of 120 MLAs [2]. Along with Vijay, nine other TVK leaders took their oaths during the proceedings [2].
Trisha Krishnan arrived at the stadium wearing a blue saree [1]. Her presence at the event drew significant attention from the public and media. In a separate statement to BollywoodShaadis, Krishnan said, "I want to be CM of Tamil Nadu."
The swearing-in follows a period of political consolidation for the TVK. The party's ability to command a majority of 120 MLAs [2] provides the foundation for the new administration's legislative agenda in the state. The gathering at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium served as the formal launch of Vijay's tenure as the state's chief executive [1, 2].
“"I want to be CM of Tamil Nadu"”
The transition of a high-profile cinema figure into the role of chief minister highlights the enduring intersection of entertainment and politics in Tamil Nadu. By securing 120 MLAs, the TVK has established a stable majority, suggesting that Vijay's populist appeal has successfully translated into institutional political power.
