Wearing his characteristic black blazer over a crisp white shirt and blue trousers, Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay arrived at the felicitation ceremony at Hotel Leela Palace for the State’s Asian Games medallists and members of the Indian chess teams that won medals at the Samarkand Chess Olympiad on Thursday evening, and soon found himself surrounded by people eager to take selfies with him.

The requests continued right up to the moment he left the venue. Such was the enthusiasm that even the families of the sportspersons, who came on stage to receive the awards, made sure they had their moment with the actor-turned-Chief Minister and posed for selfies with him.
