After all the drama, Vijay has finally sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. The ceremony took place at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai and saw the presence of many prominent personalities from politics and cinema.
Appreciating the superstar on his achievement, Kamal Haasan wrote, "May Tamil Nadu prosper under the leadership of the President of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, the Honorable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, younger brother Mr Vijay. May the state reach new heights. I convey my heartfelt wishes."
On the other hand, Prakash Raj wrote, "Congratulations to Chief Minister Vijay. Wishing you the best to succeed in your new responsibility . May the state thrive in your governance too." Notably, Prakash has been accused of doubting the TVK chief's credentials to foray into politics. However, he has also questioned the delay in letting the TVK chief announce himself as the CM of Tamil Nadu.
Another actor who has raised similar questions is Vishal. The actor expressed his happiness to see one of his fraternity members become the CM. He added, "Dear CM Vijay sir, proud to add sir to the person I know for the last 32 years. Requesting you for the following. As a voter. Would like to see you taking stock of the lady/woman constables who stand in the heat unnecessarily when a cm leaves his/her house to go to the secretariat.. request you to provide them mobile toilets. Yes there are promises to be met. But the basics like mending roads,which has been the same last 30 years with water logging ,making sure the elusive storm water drains come into existence and also the list as common man goes on. But yes these can be attented to which will make a mark which no leader has attended to till date. God bless u with abundant positivity and strength to handle all that comes your way to do good for the public."
Meanwhile, Karuppu director and actor RJ Balaji wrote, "C Joseph Vijay !!! This feels insane ..!!! Congratulations to you and to your cabinet of ministers…!!! Knowing you and your intentions, look forward to your inclusive and progressive government taking our glorious state to the next level !!! Wishing you only the best sir.! Godbless us all !!!"
In the mean time, actor Simran, Vijay's co-star in films such as Priyamanavale and Thullatha Manamum Thullum wrote, "Heartiest congratulations to my dear friend, the people’s leader and true Jana Nayagan, Thiru Vijay avargal, on taking oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Today is not just historic, it marks the beginning of a powerful new era."
On the other hand, composer Santhosh Narayanan wrote, "Best wishes , prayers and God speed CM thiru Vijay sir ! This is once in a generation opportunity to explore new ideas and beginnings for our beautiful state. For the first time in this century, crores of common people wish to actively contribute in some way to the political ethos. We have a huge road ahead- Kalakunga Thalapathy."
From the world of politics, PM Narendra Modi and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also wished the new CM of Tamil Nadu for the journey ahead.
