Joseph Vijay’s government, marking a major political comeback for the party after decades on the sidelines of state power.  The swearing-in ceremony quickly turned into a viral political flashpoint when newly inducted minister Rajesh Kumar invoked the names of Rahul Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and Congress icon K Kamaraj during his oath.
