A Star People Believed In: C. Joseph Vijay takes oath as Tamil Nadu CM

In a watershed moment for Tamil Nadu politics, actor-turned-politician C. Joseph Vijay was sworn in as the state's Chief Minister on Sunday morning, ending nearly six decades of dominance by the two Dravidian giants: the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK). 

The swearing-in ceremony was held at Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai at 10 AM, where State Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar administered the Oath of Office and Secrecy to Vijay, the founder of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). The venue buzzed with excitement as thousands of supporters and dignitaries gathered to witness the historic occasion.

Nine ministers were also sworn in alongside the new Chief Minister, including KG Arunraj, Aadhav Arjuna, N Anand, Selvi S Keerthana, and Dr TK Prabhu. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was among the prominent guests present, along with several leading faces from the Tamil film industry who turned out to celebrate the rise of one of their own.

Vijay's government was formed with the backing of Congress, CPI, CPI(M), VCK, and IUML, giving the alliance the support of 120 MLAs-elect in the 234-member House, a comfortable majority that reflects the breadth of the coalition behind the new administration. In his address after taking oath, Chief Minister Vijay appealed to the public to trust his government, promising smooth and transparent governance. Wasting no time, he signed files at the Secretariat enabling 200 units of free electricity for every household, the establishment of a dedicated women's safety unit, and a special taskforce to combat drug smuggling. 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay spoke on the phone, with the Prime Minister congratulating the new CM on his oath ceremony on Sunday (May 10).

BJP’s Landslide Win In Assembly Polls Ending TMC’s 15-Year Reign in West Bengal, one of India’s toughest political frontiers


Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party has ended Mamata Banerjee's decade-and-a-half stranglehold over West Bengal, securing over 200 seats in the 294-member state assembly and comfortably crossing the majority threshold of 148 seats. It is the first time that the Indian prime minister’s Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) has won assembly elections in West Bengal, a large and politically significant state in eastern India. 

The result marked a watershed moment for the BJP, which had long been dismissed as an outsider party in a state with a rare opposition stronghold. Analysts point to a convergence of factors that ultimately tipped the balance. A sustained Hindu consolidation campaign, amplified by messaging around illegal immigration, border security and demographic anxiety, eroded the TMC's traditional voter coalition. The BJP also made a concerted effort to shed its outsider "non-Bengali" image during campaigning as part of this broader cultural outreach.

PM Modi said in a statement the West Bengal assembly elections “will be remembered forever. People’s power has prevailed and BJP’s politics of good governance has triumphed. I bow to each and every person of West Bengal.” 

For decades, Bengal prided itself on resisting the political currents reshaping the rest of India. With this breakthrough, the BJP has penetrated one of India’s most enduring political bastions, potentially marking not just the end of an era in Bengal, but the beginning of a new phase in India’s evolving political narrative.

A Kenyan Rewrites History as the Marathon Clock Falls Below Two Hours 

A Kenyan Rewrites History as the Marathon Clock Falls Below Two Hours Sunday's TCS London Marathon will be spoken of for generations. Sabastian Sawe, a 31-year-old runner from Kenya, streaked across the finish line of the TCS London Marathon in 1 hour, 59 minutes and 30 seconds, the first time any athlete has completed 26.2 miles under the two-hour mark in a fully sanctioned race. 

The achievement drew instant comparisons to Roger Bannister's 1954 sub-four-minute mile: it was being called "the four-minute mile of marathon running," and made all the more extraordinary given Sawe had suffered an injury in January and only resumed proper training in February.

His time knocked a full 65 seconds off the previous world record held by the late Kelvin Kiptum, and was 10 seconds quicker than Eliud Kipchoge's celebrated 1:59:41 exhibition run in 2019, an effort that required revolving pacers and controlled conditions. Sawe achieved his feat under full competitive race rules.

Sawe's finish shattered the previous world record — held by the late Kelvin Kiptum — by a full 35 seconds. Kiptum had set his mark of 2:00:35 at the 2023 Chicago Marathon. Sawe told reporters after the finish: "Everything is possible with a matter of time. I was ready today. I was well-prepared for the London Marathon. I'm so happy because I had a lot of courage to push, even when the pace was fast."

The men's race was not the only chapter of history written on Sunday. Tigst Assefa, the defending women's champion, crossed the line in 2:15:41, shaving nine seconds from her own women-only world record and completing a remarkable title defence.
