Vijay takes oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu following four days of political developments, and he addresses the state in his first speech. All three outlets reporting on his remarks highlight the same statement about governance and decision-making: Vijay says there will be no “power centre” other than him and that he will be the only centre of power. In the speech, he also presents his broader aims for the administration, including a focus on transparency and a corruption-free government.

News18 and NDTV both describe his remarks as part of the initial vision-setting after assuming office, while Times of India similarly quotes him on the “only power centre” theme following the swearing-in. NDTV also notes that, along with Vijay, nine TVK leaders are sworn in as part of the incoming government. Across sources, the reporting centers on the oath-taking and Vijay’s first public comments emphasizing concentrated authority and pledges for governance standards.
