Prime Minister Narendra Modi speaks by phone with TVK leader and Legislature Party leader Vijay and congratulates him after he takes oath as Tamil Nadu’s Chief Minister. Multiple outlets report that Modi’s call happens shortly after Vijay assumes office following his party’s win in the 2026 Assembly elections.
The Hindu and News18 India state that Vijay is sworn in as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister on May 10, 2026, and that Modi congratulates him during a telephonic conversation. Mint adds that the congratulatory outreach is not limited to Modi: it also reports that former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee conveys her wishes to Vijay, linking the electoral outcome to voters’ aspirations and confidence in Vijay’s leadership.
Across the reports, the central points are Vijay’s swearing-in as Chief Minister and political congratulations from prominent national and regional leaders immediately after the transition of office. The reports do not add further policy details or substantive discussions from the calls.
