Governor Intervention Changes Scene During Vijay’s Oath Ceremony

A rare moment in Tamil Nadu political history unfolded as Vijay took oath as the Chief Minister. The ceremony was held at an indoor stadium in Chennai amid loud cheers from supporters, while Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar administered the oath.

During the oath taking, Vijay initially recited it in an emotional, film style manner, which led the Governor to intervene and remind him that it must be done in a formal and constitutional manner. Following the clarification, Vijay calmly completed the oath in the prescribed format.

Along with him, nine ministers were also sworn in. Senior leaders from the TVK party, including Aadhav Arjuna and K.A. Sengottaiyan, were inducted into the cabinet. The incident quickly went viral on social media.
