Vijay leaves CM seat, sits with ministers in rare gesture in Tamil Nadu Assembly
Tamil Nadu chief minister Vijay briefly sat in the chair allotted to him before moving to the one reserved for ministers.
Vijay, the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, made a rare gesture by leaving his usual seat in the state Assembly and sitting next to his cabinet ministers on Thursday. This unusual move was captured on video and quickly went viral on social media. Initially seated on his right side, Vijay briefly occupied the chair designated for him before switching to the one reserved for ministers.
The video footage showed the chief minister actively interacting with the ministers in the Assembly chamber. Traditionally, the CM sits in a separate and spacious chair close to the Speaker's Chair, while ministers are seated next to him based on seniority. On this occasion, Vijay sat between Ministers K A Sengottaiyan, who is also the Leader of the House, and Aadhav Arjuna.
This decision to change seats marked a significant departure from the norm, as no other chief minister has ever sat on the designated minister's chair before.
