In a major political development, Union Minister of State L. Murugan has officially resigned from his ministerial post as well as his Rajya Sabha membership. His sudden step down has sparked widespread speculation about a massive pre Diwali cabinet reset in Prime Minister Narendra Modi government.

Murugan, who served as the Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs and Information and Broadcasting, submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Modi. In his letter, Murugan expressed immense gratitude for the opportunity to serve in the Union Council of Ministers. He explained that he now wants to dedicate his full time and energy to working at the grassroots level and strengthening the Bharatiya Janata Party BJP in Tamil Nadu. Though he represented Madhya Pradesh in the Upper House with a term valid until 2030, he chose to step down early to focus entirely on party organization.

This political move has set off intense buzz across political corridors. With multiple parliamentary seats and ministerial portfolios opening up, senior political analysts believe Prime Minister Modi may announce a fresh Cabinet reshuffle right before the upcoming festival of Diwali. Party workers in Tamil Nadu have welcomed Murugan return, while political leaders in Delhi are closely watching who will join the new Union Cabinet.
