It has been one month since Vijay was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, and his governance has received a largely positive response from the public, party cadre and the media. One of the
most striking features of his administration has been the absence of any parallel power center. Vijay remains firmly in command, with no closed coterie acting as a barrier between the Chief Minister and MLAs, MPs, or party workers.
His accessibility and direct engagement with elected representatives have strengthened confidence within the party and government.
Vijay’s firm control over the party, coupled with his focus on implementing people-centric policies, has earned widespread appreciation.
Measures such as capping private school fees and taking action against belt shops have been welcomed by many sections of society.
In one of his most significant early decisions, he ordered the closure of 717 TASMAC liquor outlets located near schools, places of worship and bus stands, addressing a long-standing public demand and drawing praise from community groups and families.

Beyond this, the government increased the free electricity quota for eligible households to 200 units per month, initiated the revival of Amma Unavagam canteens across the state, launched the Singappen Special Force for women’s safety and strengthened anti-drug enforcement near educational institutions.
Vijay also unveiled the ambitious “Vetri Tamizhagam” vision document containing hundreds of development initiatives and emphasized administrative discipline and transparency in governance.
Overall, Vijay’s first month in office has created a positive impression, with many viewing his leadership style, accessibility and policy initiatives as signs of a proactive and people-focused government.
