In his Twitter handle, the Left leader shared his hope to work together with Stalin for a better India.

"Dear com/mkstalin" @mkstalin , as you take on your new responsibilities as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, let me wish you great success. I hope that we can further deepen the fraternal love that Keralites and Tamilians have shared for centuries, and work together for a better India," Vijayan tweeted.
