Union minister of state L Murugan resigned on Tuesday from his ministry and the Rajya Sabha, after penning a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In his letter, Murugan said he wants to dedicate himself full time to strengthening the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Tamil Nadu.
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Murugan, Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting and Parliamentary Affairs, said it was the "greatest honour" of his life to serve "Bharat Mata" and Tamil Nadu under his leadership.
"With humility and grateful heart, I therefore request you to relieve me of my responsibility as MoS and permit me to relinquish my membership of the Rajya Sabha, so that I may dedicate full time to strengthening the party in Tamil Nadu," he said.
Murugan was first elected to Rajya Sabha in 2021 and then for the second term in 2024.
