Rickey Radhan Pandit Vettrivel, the personal astrologer of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay, has been appointed as the Officer on Special Duty (Political) in the Chief Minister’s Office. He had predicted Vijay's political rise and win in 2024.
Radhan Pandit Vettrivel has about four decades of experience in Vedic astrology, numerology, and meditation-based guidance. He is known as a high-profile celebrity and political astrologer, and he changed his name from Pandit Vettrivel to Radhan Pandit after moving to Delhi in 2008.
CM Vijay likely appointed JCD Prabhakar as Speaker because he is a seasoned politician with deep connections across political camps, which is crucial for managing the Assembly's functioning. This choice ensures a smooth running of the government, especially since TVK does not have a simple majority on its own.
CM Vijay faces challenges including managing coalition stability, administrative inexperience, high-cost poll promises straining finances, building a long-term party structure, and maintaining constructive ties with the central government.
The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), led by C Joseph Vijay, registered a major victory in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, emerging as the single-largest party. This win ended the six-decade-long duopoly of the DMK and AIADMK, significantly altering the state's political landscape.
Vijay took oath as chief minister of Tamil Nadu on 10 May.
