Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) president Vijay’s 52nd birthday is being celebrated and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday extended birthday wishes to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, praying for a long and healthy life. “Birthday greetings to the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Thiru C. Joseph Vijay Ji. I pray for his long and healthy life,” PM Modi posted on X. This year marks a historic milestone for him, following his party’s incredible success in its very first assembly election.

Vijay founded the party in 2024. Vijay’s victory is particularly striking given the context. Entering politics amid scepticism, controversies, and comparisons with past actor-politicians, he faced formidable opponents and entrenched party machinery. Yet, by converting fan enthusiasm into votes and leveraging a campaign focused on issues like anti-drug initiatives and social justice, he has rewritten expectations. Tamil Nadu has witnessed actor-politicians before, but Vijay’s rise–rooted in both cinematic charisma and a carefully crafted political narrative–signals a generational shift.
