Internal dissent, law and order concerns and questions over coalition support have put Vijay's six-month-old government under scrutiny.
Vijay govt completes six months; now it must sail through choppy waters
Six months into its term, TVK govt is already facing allegations of internal feuds, questions on governance and uncertainty over support of allies; political analysts discuss whether Vijay can prove stability of his govt
The honeymoon period for Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay’s government in Tamil Nadu is officially over. Six months into its term, the government faces allegations of internal rebellion, questions over governance and uncertainty over the support of its allies, raising concerns about its political stability. While critics say the government is struggling to keep its MLAs in check, supporters argue that Vijay needs more time to establish an inexperienced administration.
Political analyst Hareesh Mohamed Ibrahim said the government had spent nearly six months making compromises across departments to protect its position. Questioning the chief minister’s alleged lack of decisive public action, Ibrahim cited law and order concerns and the handling of the group molestation case.
Offering a contrasting assessment, political commentator S Muralidharan argued that the government should not be written off simply because it had encountered difficulties within its first six months. Drawing parallels between Vijay’s political journey and the careers of cricketers Rohit Sharma and Sourav Ganguly, Muralidharan said successful public figures need time and opportunities to overcome early setbacks.
Speaking on The Federal’s AI with Sanket, the political analysts discussed whether the debut government under Vijay’s leadership can overcome the current political challenges and complete its five-year term.
