C. Joseph Vijay

In the vibrant tapestry of Tamil Nadu, a star ascended from the silver screen to the political stage, capturing the imagination of millions. C. Joseph Vijay, fondly called ‘Thalapathy’ by his adoring fans, traded the glamour of cinema for the grit of governance, driven by a vision to transform the state. With the founding of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) in 2024, Vijay ignited a movement that promised to cleanse the corridors of power and bring accountability to the forefront. His cinematic charisma translated into a political phenomenon as he swept the 2026 elections, claiming victory in two constituencies and leading his party to secure a historic majority. Sworn in as the 22nd Chief Minister, Vijay shattered the mold, becoming the first non-Dravidian leader in decades to helm the state. His journey is a testament to the power of dreams and determination, as he stands as a beacon of hope for a new Tamil Nadu, where integrity and progress go hand in hand.
