Live proceedings of the Tamil Nadu cabinet expansion show newly inducted ministers taking their oaths and exchanging bouquets with the Governor. The ceremony includes the accommodation of two Congress MLAs into the state cabinet. However, the event has sparked a renewed controversy over the protocol sequence of songs played at official state functions. The swearing-in ceremony commenced with the singing of Vande Mataram, followed by the Anthem, and concluded with the Tamil Nadu anthem.
This exact sequence previously triggered a major row on May 10, when the government proved its majority. During that initial swearing-in, alliance partners of the ruling TVK raised significant concerns regarding the Tamil Nadu anthem being sung last, alleging a violation of established state protocol. The repetition of this song sequence at the latest cabinet expansion indicates that the protocol dispute remains unresolved as the new ministers officially assume their roles in the state government.
