Rahul Gandhi’s Message for Vijay
In a post shared on X, Rahul Gandhi praised the people of Tamil Nadu for choosing what he described as a new generation, a fresh voice, and a different vision for the future.

Presence at the Swearing-In Ceremony
Rahul Gandhi was also present during Vijay’s oath-taking ceremony held at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai.
His attendance at the event became one of the major talking points, highlighting the Congress party’s visible support during this important political transition.
Congress Support Helped TVK Reach Power
TVK did not have enough numbers on its own to form the government after the election results.In a significant political move, Indian National Congress decided to end its alliance with Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and extended support to Vijay’s party.
Congress backed TVK with the support of its five legislators, a move that played a crucial role in helping Vijay secure the numbers needed to form the government.
New Equations in Tamil Nadu Politics
The Congress decision has triggered fresh political discussions across Tamil Nadu, with many seeing it as the beginning of new alliances and shifting equations in the state’s political landscape. Vijay’s rise to power, backed by crucial support, has now opened a completely new chapter in Tamil Nadu politics.
