Tamil Nadu CM Vijay shifting office to accommodate secretaries, visiting dignitaries: Minister Aadhav Arjuna
Mr. Vijay is not doing it for his comfort or convenience, the Minister said.
On August 18, 2026, Tamil Nadu Public Works Department Minister Aadhav Arjuna revealed that Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay was relocating his office to the Namakkal Kavignar Maaligai. This move was necessitated by the need to accommodate visiting foreign dignitaries, his secretaries, and around 200 officials working under him in a bid to "create a new vision for the State and restructure the administration."
During a reply in the Assembly to DMK MLA and former Minister E.V. Velu, Arjuna vehemently denied the reports suggesting that the construction of the Chief Minister's office had commenced before the completion of the tender process. He asserted that these reports were utterly false.
