Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay is set to expand his cabinet by inducting two Congress MLAs — Rajesh Kumar and P. Vishwanathan — as ministers. The move marks the Congress party’s return to the Tamil Nadu government after a gap of 59 years. Congress general secretary K. C. Venugopal called it a “historic occasion” and confirmed the swearing-in ceremony. The cabinet expansion strengthens the alliance supporting Vijay’s minority government, which came to power after the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections with backing from Congress and several regional parties.
