Who All Are Attending the Oath-Taking?
The event is expected to witness the presence of several key dignitaries, including:
- National Political Leaders: Leaders from major national parties, including the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress, are likely to attend. Speculations are rife about the presence of top opposition figures.
- Regional Party Chiefs: Heads of various regional parties from neighboring states, such as Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Kerala, have been invited.
- Film and Entertainment Personalities: Given Vijay’s background as a popular actor, many celebrities from the Tamil film industry are expected to grace the occasion.

Security and Preparations
The Chennai Police and state administration have made elaborate security arrangements for the ceremony.

The swearing-in is scheduled to begin at 10:00 AM IST, with the oath administered by the Governor of Tamil Nadu.
