Thalapathy Vijay Tamil Nadu CM: Today, 10 May 2026, is a very special day in Tamil Nadu. The tenure of the new government in the state has started from today. Thalapathy Vijay was sworn in at 10 am, after which he has now become the new CM of Tamil Nadu.

In Tamil Nadu, Thalapathy Vijay got full support from the public and he won an overwhelming majority. But the number of seats to form the government was falling short, due to which there were one hurdle after another in the coronation of Thalapathy. But after the support of VCM and IUML, now Thalapathy Vijay’s party TVK government has been formed.

Many obstacles but still the boat crossed

There were many obstacles in Vijay becoming the Chief Minister. Despite the huge majority, Vijay was not able to form the government. After this, on 9 May 2026, Vijay met the Governor of Tamil Nadu at Lok Bhavan and gave him a letter sharing the information about his election as the leader of TVK, after which the Tamil Nadu Governor appointed Vijay as the Chief Minister and invited him to form the government.

Vijay’s coronation took place on May 10 at 10 am.

South superstar-turned-politician Thalapathy Vijay took oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on Sunday 10 and thus created a new history in the politics of the state. Vijay took the oath of chief ministership and secrecy at the swearing-in ceremony held at 10 am at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium (JNS), Chennai.

If reports are to be believed, earlier there was talk of Vijay’s swearing-in ceremony being held at 3.45 pm. But later the time was changed to 10 am. It is being told that on the advice of the astrologer, the timing of the swearing-in ceremony was changed. Because Rahukaal was going to start after noon at 04:30 pm. According to Vijay’s horoscope, the time of 10 am was considered very auspicious.

The time of 10 am on Sunday, May 10, 2026, is considered auspicious, because many astrologically favorable conditions are being created at this time. According to Panchang (10 May Panchang), 10 May 2026 is the Ashtami date of Jyeshtha Krishna Paksha. On May 10, 2026, it is the time of ‘Labh’ from 9:05 am to 10:44 am, which is considered best for auspicious and beneficial works. Immediately after this, ‘Amrit’ Amrit Choghadiya starts at 10:44 am.

There is also a strong discussion in the political circles that the time of oath taking was changed keeping in mind the auspicious time. However, no official statement has come from the government or Raj Bhavan on this.
