Suresh Gopi, First BJP MP From Kerala, Mulls Resigning Ministerial Post

Thiruvananthapuram: Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Member of Parliament (MP) from Thrissur, Suresh Gopi, is reportedly considering relinquishing his position as Union Minister of State for Railways.

Sources within the BJP indicate that Gopi is contemplating his resignation due to personal reasons and his desire to focus on his political career in Kerala. The veteran actor-politician won the Thrissur Lok Sabha seat in the 2019 general elections, becoming the first BJP MP from the southern state.

Gopi’s potential resignation would come at a crucial time for the BJP in Kerala, where the party is striving to expand its footprint and emerge as a formidable opposition to the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF). The BJP has been actively campaigning in the state, organizing rallies and inducting new members.

If Gopi does step down from his ministerial post, it would mark a significant development for the BJP in Kerala. The party would need to find a replacement who can effectively represent the state in the Union government and contribute to the party’s growth.

The BJP’s state leadership is currently holding discussions regarding Gopi’s decision and will likely make an announcement in the coming days.
