Tamil Nadu Congress Cabinet: For the first time in almost six decades, Congress is going to be a part of the Tamil Nadu cabinet. Two party MLAs are scheduled to take oath as ministers in the Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK)-led government on Thursday.
The announcement came after Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge announced the inclusion of Congress MLAs S. Approved the inclusion of Rajesh Kumar and P. Vishwanathan.
This move is being considered an important step in the changing political scenario of Tamil Nadu and an important means of strengthening the alliance supporting the TVK government.
Confirming the development through a social media post and calling it a historic moment for the party, AICC General Secretary K.C. “It is a historic occasion for us as the Congress is joining the Tamil Nadu cabinet after a long gap of 59 years,” Venugopal said.
He also extended his good wishes to both the leaders and expressed confidence that they will work towards fulfilling the aspirations of the people of Tamil Nadu by pursuing a welfare-oriented governance model.
Congress currently has 5 MLAs in the Tamil Nadu Assembly and after the assembly elections it has emerged as a major supporting force for the TVK government.
The support given by the Congress, along with other alliance partners including the Left parties, VCK and IUML, helped the Vijay-led administration easily cross the majority mark in the Assembly.
Political observers consider the inclusion of Congress ministers to be more important than a normal process of cabinet expansion. This is being considered a deliberate strategic move by the TVK leadership to strengthen coalition management and give more representation to allies while maintaining political stability.
The swearing-in ceremony to be held on Thursday is believed to be the beginning of a new chapter in Tamil Nadu politics, with the Congress returning to hold ministerial responsibilities in the state after a gap of nearly six decades.
