Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulates C. Joseph Vijay after he takes oath as the new Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, according to multiple reports. Modi says the central government will continue to work with the Tamil Nadu government and extend support for the state’s welfare.
C. Joseph Vijay is sworn in as chief minister on Sunday, marking a leadership change in the state. The reports note that Vijay’s party, the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), wins the 2026 elections, ending the previous dominance of Dravidian parties in Tamil Nadu’s political landscape.
Both outlets also emphasize Modi’s message of cooperation with the new state administration, indicating an intent to maintain coordination between the Centre and Tamil Nadu following the electoral outcome and the formation of the new government.
