Thalapathy Vijay is set to be sworn in as the new Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu in few hours. After a lot of dillydallying, the Governor is finally convinced that Vijay can form a stable government and invited him to form the Government.
Fans are celebrating this moment big time but then, bigger challenges are ahead for Thalapathy.
Firstly, Vijay has absolutely no prior administration experience. Moreover, he pulled off a surprise by defeating the Dravidian parties and so, the entire establishment would look to pull him down and show him as a failure.
Second, TVK’s 95-page manifesto emphasizes women, youth, farmers, and governance reforms. He promised many freebies to these segments. Vijay positioned these as “practical and implementable,” but financial experts say these will bleed the economy. But Vijay has to implement them to prove his credibility.
Third, Vijay positioned him as an alternative to the traditional politics. The youth who voted for him with a hope for ‘Change’ would look for that. Vijay has to show that ‘Change’ so as to infuse confidence in his voters. Only then, he would get another chance.
And the last challenge is even more critical.
Along with TVK, there are five more parties that are pitching the required eleven seats to form the Government. With Vijay’s inexperience, they would look to extract their pound of flesh in the Government.
Post-poll alliances are often known for blackmail politics, rampant corruption, and indecisiveness in administration.
Vijay has to steer the ship for five years by satisfying them and at the same time, fulfilling the aspirations of the voters who casted their vote for him.
Many are betting that Vijay would not last full five years term. If he would not last the five years, he would remain as one-time wonder.
