AIADMK chief J Jayalalithaa has been sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
Jaya proved the exit polls wrong to come back to power winning 134 seats in the 234 member assembly.
This is for the first time since the death of former chief minister MGR, in 1987 that a party has returned to power for a consecutive second term in Tamil Nadu.
The swearing in ceremony was held at the Centenary Auditorium at the Madras University at 12 noon.
Tamil Nadu Governor K Rosaiah administered the oath of office to the Chief Minister and 28 members of the cabinet. AIADMK MLA and former MP Semmalai will be the pro term speaker for the 15th Assembly.
DMK Party's treasurer MK Stalin also attended the ceremony. Earlier on May 21, Jayalalithaa met state Governor K. Rosaiah on where she staked the claim to form the government.
