L. Murugan Resigns from Union Cabinet and Rajya Sabha to Focus on BJP's Tamil Nadu Expansion

Senior BJP leader and Minister of State L. Murugan has resigned from the Union Council of Ministers and surrendered his Rajya Sabha membership. He stated his intent to return to grassroots work to strengthen the BJP's organizational and electoral presence in Tamil Nadu ahead of the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. Murugan, the son of daily wage labourers, previously held portfolios in Information and Broadcasting, Parliamentary Affairs, Fisheries, Animal Husbandry, and Dairying, and served as Vice-Chairman of the National Commission for Scheduled Castes from 2017 to 2020.

Raised in a household dependent on daily-wage work, he eventually secured a seat at the table of the Union Council of Ministers — an arc he characterised, in his own telling, as the foremost honour his life had afforded him. Pledging to redirect his energies toward party-building work, he outlined a plan to operate at the grassroots level alongside BJP volunteers, channelling his complete focus into expanding the party's foothold across Tamil Nadu ahead of the 2029 Lok Sabha elections — a statement he brought to a close with the words "Nation First."
