L Murugan Resigns From Union Cabinet and Rajya Sabha to Strengthen BJP in Tamil Nadu

Union Minister of State L Murugan resigned from the Union Cabinet and the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday, informing Prime Minister Narendra Modi through a formal letter. Murugan, who served as Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting and Parliamentary Affairs, stated his intention to return to grassroots politics and dedicate himself fully to strengthening the BJP in Tamil Nadu ahead of the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. He previously served as BJP's Tamil Nadu state president before joining the Union Cabinet in 2021.

Murugan described the arc from a household sustained by daily-wage work to a cabinet post as the most formative chapter of his life, and said that serving under Prime Minister Narendra Modi — in roles touching both the country and Tamil Nadu — had carried a depth of personal meaning that no other position had matched. Party-building at the grassroots level has pulled him back into active involvement at a time when the organisation is looking to strengthen its presence and grow its vote share across Tamil Nadu's assembly and parliamentary constituencies.
