CHENNAI — A state government's sweeping vision for social justice has miraculously aligned with the exact constitutional limit for political appointments, officials confirmed Tuesday, after swearing in the cabinet's final members to hit the 35-minister ceiling.

The final portfolios for Social Justice and Minorities Welfare were awarded to representatives of allied parties who, on May 21, had publicly pledged their "unconditional outside support" to the government. "Upon further reflection, we realized our unconditional outside support would be significantly more effective if conducted unconditionally from the inside," said a spokesperson for one of the factions. "It is purely a coincidence that our deep ideological alignment requires a ministerial berth to fully manifest."

The final inductions follow a rapid expansion phase that recently saw 23 new ministers sworn in to consolidate power and draw members away from a rival alliance. When asked if the rapid distribution of all 35 available cabinet slots was driven by political horse-trading to ensure government stability, a government representative deferred to the ruling party's stated promise to provide the highest level of representation for marginalized communities.

"Our commitment to representation is absolutely limitless," the official said, gesturing toward the newly expanded cabinet seating arrangement. "Unfortunately, the constitution limits us at exactly 35. Any further social justice will have to wait until we can legally establish more departments."
