Rajmohan has been given charge of School Education, Tamil Development, Information and Publicity. Dr T K Prabhu will oversee Natural Resources, and Selvi S Keerthana has been assigned Industries.
The portfolio allocation comes days after Vijay took oath as the 13th Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu in a major political shift that ended the decades-long dominance of the DMK and AIADMK in the state.
TVK emerged as the single largest party in the recently concluded Assembly elections, winning 108 seats. Though short of the majority mark of 118, the party secured support from the Congress, VCK, Left parties and IUML to form the government.
