In his very first election, Vijay got a higher vote percentage than what MGR managed in his debut. But to form the government, he needed 11 more seats. So, he formed a coalition with the Congress, VCK, and Communist parties. He took his oath as CM on May 10 at Chennai's Nehru Indoor Stadium, with Rahul Gandhi also present at the ceremony.
