JCD Prabhakar praised Chief Minister Vijay after his maiden speech in the Assembly and compared him to legendary former Chief Minister M. G. Ramachandran. The Speaker stated that Vijay’s leadership style and public connect reminded many people of MGR, one of Tamil Nadu’s most influential political icons.

The remarks came during ongoing discussions surrounding the formation of the new Tamil Nadu government led by Vijay following the recent Assembly election victory. JCD Prabhakar reportedly stated that “our CM Vijay is living MGR,” highlighting the emotional connection Vijay shares with the public and his growing popularity across the state.

Vijay’s first address in the Assembly received significant attention from political leaders and the public alike. In his speech, the Chief Minister focused on governance, welfare measures, youth opportunities, employment generation and development priorities for Tamil Nadu. He also stressed the importance of inclusive politics, administrative transparency and respect for democratic institutions.

Political observers noted that Vijay’s rise marks a major shift in Tamil Nadu politics, particularly because of his strong support among youth and first-time voters. His transition from cinema to politics has drawn repeated comparisons with former actor-politicians such as MGR and J. Jayalalithaa, both of whom successfully transformed their fan base into political influence.

The new government has already begun discussions on key administrative decisions and welfare programmes. Supporters of Vijay believe his leadership style, public communication, and mass appeal could significantly reshape Tamil Nadu’s political landscape in the coming years. Meanwhile, opposition parties are closely watching how the new administration handles governance and fulfills its election promises.
