List of Tamil Nadu Chief Ministers
The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu is the chief executive of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. According to the Constitution of India, the Governor is the legal head of the state, but actual executive authority rests with the Chief Minister.
Following elections to the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, the state Governor usually invites the majority party (or coalition) to form the government. The Governor appoints the Chief Minister, whose Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the Legislative Assembly.
Given that he enjoys the confidence of the Assembly, the Chief Minister’s tenure is for five years and is not subject to any term limit. Since 1952, Tamil Nadu has had 12 Chief Ministers, 13 of whom have been V.R. Nedunchezhiyan, who served as chief minister twice.
The longest serving Chief Minister, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam’s M. Karunanidhi held office for more than eighteen years in multiple terms, while he was the person with the longest gap between two terms (about thirteen years).
Former General Secretary of All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam J. Jayalalithaa has the second longest tenure, and its founder M.G. Ramachandran, the first actor to become Chief Minister in India, has the third longest tenure, while his wife V.N. Janaki Ramachandran has the third longest tenure.
Shortest tenure (only 23 days). Of. Kamaraj resigned from his post of his own free will and devoted all his energies to the revival of the Indian National Congress party; He was responsible for elevating Lal Bahadur Shastri to the position of Prime Minister of the Republic of India after the death of Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi after the death of Lal Bahadur Shastri. C. Rajagopalachari served as the last Governor-General of the Union of India before becoming the Chief Minister of the undivided Madras State.
There have been four instances of President’s rule in Tamil Nadu, the most recent in 1991. The current office bearer is M.K. of Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam since 7 May 2021. Stalin is
