Tamil Nadu CM Vijay Sits Among Ministers in Assembly, Breaking Tradition
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay broke tradition by sitting alongside ministers in the Assembly, rather than in his usual separate chair near the Speaker. This rare gesture occurred during the afternoon session, with Vijay seated between Ministers K A Sengottaiyan and Aadhav Arjuna. The move was noted as unprecedented by sources. Vijay also recently announced measures benefiting milk producers and government employees, including increased maternity leave and higher milk procurement prices.
