[00:00:01]This comes in from down south from the state of Tamil Nadu. Another day, another expansion within the Vijay cabinet. This is 2.0 that we are speaking of. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay's cabinet is all set for another expansion and will now be accommodating allies VCK and IUML within their ambit. Now, VCK MLA Vanni Arasu and IUML MLA A.M. Shajahan will be sworn in as the ministers today. Earlier, Vijay accommodated 23 new legislators including two from Congress setting a history of sorts where the national party became a part of the government in the state of Tamil Nadu for the first time in about 60 long years. Meanwhile, Mary Wilson's appointment as the new finance minister has given DMK a chance to target TVK posting a three-year-old video. TVK has now asked, "How can a rowdy be appointed as a minister in the Vijay government?" DMK has also questioned TVK's governance model at this given point of time.
