Tamil Nadu’s search for a new seat of power has resurfaced under Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, who announced plans to move the Secretariat out of the historic Fort St. George due to space constraints and federal ownership. However, relocating from the 17th-century fort is a struggle spanning over 130 years. Since 1896, multiple administrations from British governance to former Chief Ministers Rajaji, M. Karunanidhi, and J. Jayalalithaa have proposed or executed moves to various sites across Chennai, only to return. Today, the administration faces the same historical challenge: balancing modern administrative expansion with deep heritage roots. #tamilnadu #chennai #fortstgeorge #vijay #tvk #josephvijay #tamilnadupolitics #secretariat #kamarajarsalai #chepauk #guindy #kalaivanararangam Thank you for watching our video!
