Nine Ministers of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) are expected to be sworn in on Sunday in Chennai, along with party president and Chief Minister-designate C. Joseph Vijay. Among those likely to take the oath is Mr. Vijay’s close confidante 'Bussy' N. Anand, who was elected from the Theagaraya Nagar (T. Nagar) constituency.
'Bussy' N. Anand, popularly known as 'Bussy' Anand, is the general secretary of the TVK and a trusted aide of its founder, C. Joseph Vijay. He is set to enter the Tamil Nadu Assembly as a MLA from T. Nagar in Chennai.
The 61-year-old MLA-elect had earlier served as a legislator in the Puducherry Assembly, representing the Bussy constituency. He won the seat in 2006 as a nominee of the Puducherry Munnetra Congress, a party founded by P. Kannan, former Speaker of the Union Territory.
The Karur Town police registered a case against Mr. Anand and two others in connection with the stampede at a party meeting addressed by actor Vijay at Velusamypuram in Karur district on September 27, 2025, in which 41 persons were killed. The court proceedings in this case are ongoing.
The swearing-in ceremony is expected to take place on Sunday, with the new Cabinet set to begin its term. The Tamil Nadu Assembly will resume its session shortly after the swearing-in, with the new government expected to outline its policy priorities.
