On May 21, 2026, the swearing-in ceremony for new ministers in Tamil Nadu's cabinet took place, with Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay expanding his administration to include 23 new members, among them two Congress MLAs. The event was held at Lok Bhavan in Chennai, following the governor's approval of the cabinet expansion.
Coverage diverges in the emphasis placed on political alliances and the significance of the new appointments. The Hindu highlighted the inclusion of Congress MLAs, framing it as a notable shift in the political landscape, while Hindustan Times focused on the names and roles of the new ministers without delving into the implications of the Congress joining the government. Additionally, the Hindu presented a video element, which was absent in the other reports.
