On May 13, 2026, Hon'ble Chief Minister S. Joseph Vijay delivered a speech of thanks in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly after his cabinet successfully passed the vote of confidence. He extended heartfelt gratitude to all members who supported the motion, emphasizing that the 'Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam' stood as a unique, people-favored party in the 2026 elections, securing 34.92% of votes. Despite acknowledging a narrow majority, he declared it a government for the people, especially committed to protecting minorities, women, children, elders, youth, government employees, teachers, and laborers. He vowed to uphold the principles of social justice, equality, and secularism, guided by leaders like Periyar, Kamarajar, Ambedkar, Velunachiyar, and Anjalai Ammal. The Chief Minister stated that this government is for all, without caste or religious discrimination, focused solely on people's welfare, and committed to bold action, not power or authority, but to serve the trusting public.
