Vijay Sworn In as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Vows 'Real Social Justice'

C Joseph Vijay was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on Monday in Chennai, marking the start of his first term after a decisive electoral victory. In his inaugural address, Vijay, a former actor, introduced himself as a 'common man' with no royal or political lineage, crediting this as the reason for public support.

He pledged to deliver 'real, secular, social justice' and ruled out making false promises, urging citizens to assess his government based on performance over time. 'There will be no power centre other than me. I will be the only centre of power,' Vijay stated, underscoring personal accountability for policy outcomes.

Vijay's remarks signal a centralized approach to governance, breaking from traditional coalition dynamics. The administration is expected to announce its first cabinet decisions within the week. The Chief Minister's office will release a 100-day action plan by next Monday.
