Along with this, he also approved the file to constitute a special security force, giving priority to the safety of women. These decisions of Vijay are being seen as the beginning of new politics and new governance model in Tamil Nadu.

Big message to the public in the first cabinet

After assuming the post of Chief Minister, Vijay expressed his gratitude to the public in an emotional manner in his first address. He said that he does not come from any political family or royal family, but has reached here from an ordinary family. He said, "I was the son of a poor assistant director. I had set out with the dream of making a place in cinema, but the people of Tamil Nadu made me the Chief Minister. I have no words to thank the people for this love." Vijay also appealed to the public to maintain trust and give them time to deliver.

Relief to the public with 200 units of free electricity

During the election campaign, TVK chief Vijay had promised to provide up to 200 units of free electricity to domestic consumers. As soon as he became the Chief Minister, he decided to implement this promise first. Lakhs of middle class and poor families of the state are expected to get relief from this scheme. It is believed that this decision can prove to be a big step towards providing direct economic relief to the general public.

Special force will be formed for the safety of women

CM Vijay made it clear that his government will not be negligent in any way regarding the safety of women. In this direction, he also signed the file creating a special security force for the protection of women. Many issues regarding women's safety have been raised in Tamil Nadu in recent years. In such a situation, this step of Vijay government is being considered important at both political and social levels.

Big allegation made against DMK government

Chief Minister Vijay accused the previous DMK government of plunging Tamil Nadu into huge debt. He claimed that the state has a debt of more than Rs 10 lakh crore. He said that his government will soon release a 'white paper' on the financial condition of the state, so that the public can get information about the real economic situation and transparency can be maintained in governance. "We will not mislead people by making false promises. There will be only one center of power in the government and its full accountability will be towards the public," Vijay said.

Expressed gratitude to Congress and allies

After the formation of the government, Vijay gave special thanks to Congress, VCK and Left parties. It was with the support of these parties that TVK achieved the majority figure. He said that true secular and social justice based governance is now beginning in Tamil Nadu. Vijay also said that his government will take strict action against corruption and drugs.

Rahul Gandhi offered to join the government

The stir in the political circles intensified when Vijay proposed to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to join the government. However, Rahul Gandhi did not take any immediate decision on this and said that the party will consider this proposal. If Congress joins the government, a new alliance equation can be seen in Tamil Nadu politics.

To what extent will Vijay live up to the expectations of the public?

The real challenge before Vijay, who has traveled from the film screen to politics, is to manage the expectations of the administration and the public. The initial decisions have definitely indicated that he wants to build his image as a leader who takes quick decisions. Now the people of Tamil Nadu will keep an eye on how successful the Vijay government proves to be in implementing its election promises.
