TN: Rahul Gandhi To Attend Vijay's Swearing-In Ceremony Tomorrow
(MENAFN- IANS) Chennai, May 9 (IANS) Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition and senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will arrive in Chennai on May 10 to attend the swearing-in ceremony of C. Joseph Vijay as the new Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
According to official sources, Rahul Gandhi is scheduled to land in Chennai by flight at around 8.40 a.m.
Heavy security arrangements have been put in place across key locations in the city in view of his visit and the high-profile political event.
Vijay will take oath as the Chief Minister at 10 a.m. at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai.
Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar will administer the oath of office to him.
Several senior national and regional political leaders, film personalities and party workers are expected to attend the ceremony.
The development comes after the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, which emerged as the single largest party in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, secured the support of multiple parties to cross the majority mark in the 234-member Assembly.
Though TVK fell short of a simple majority on its own, the Indian National Congress soon after the election results extended support to Vijay.
The Communist parties, Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi, and Indian Union Muslim League also announced unconditional support to the Vijay-led formation.
With the backing of alliance partners and supporting parties, the TVK-led bloc has secured the support of 120 Members of the Legislative Assembly, comfortably crossing the majority mark of 118 required to form the government in Tamil Nadu.
Governor Arlekar formally invited Vijay to form the government after the alliance partners submitted letters of support to the Raj Bhavan.
Vijay is expected to take the oath along with a few members of his Cabinet, while the full ministry is likely to be expanded later.
Political observers view Vijay’s rise as one of the most significant political developments in Tamil Nadu in recent years, with the actor-turned-politician set to begin his first term as Chief Minister amid heightened public and political interest across the state.
