Vijay Meets MK Stalin | Vijay Meets Ex Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, LoP Udhayanidhi Stalin

Tamil Nadu's new Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay met his predecessor and DMK chief MK Stalin today after the actor-turned-politician took oath yesterday, following a historic election win that smashed the DMK and AIADMK duopoly of decades. It is not known what the two leaders discussed at the meeting today. Following the electoral win, this is the first time Vijay met Stalin in a courtesy call. Both MK Stalin and Udhayanidhi Stalin welcomed Vijay at their house in Chennai's Alwarpet. They shook hands with Vijay and hugged him. Visuals of the meeting shared with the media showed Vijay, in a black suit, greeting the DMK chief with folded hands. Stalin returned the gesture. Vijay managed to form the new government with help from the Congress and other parties, cobbling up whatever numbers they can get to cross the majority mark. In the days after the results came on May 4, Tamil Nadu seemed likely headed for a protracted battle for government formation, with many alliances in play as well as speculation that even the AIADMK and the DMK may team up.
