‘Grossly Incorrect’: BJP MP Suresh Gopi Reacts To Resignation Reports From Modi 3.0 Cabinet

The Kerala unit of the Congress took a dig at the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that Gopi, who took oath as a minister on Sunday, now “wants to quit because he wants to do films!"

New Delhi: Hours after taking oath as the Minister of State (MoS) in the Modi 3.0 cabinet, the Kerala Unit of Congress claimed that actor and BJP MP Suresh Gopi “wants to quit” from his post. The Kerala unit of the Congress took a dig at the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that Gopi, who took oath as a minister on Sunday, now “wants to quit because he wants to do films!”

However, Gopi later took to X and rejected the claims. “A few media platforms are spreading the incorrect news that I am going to resign from the Council of Ministers of the Modi Government. This is grossly incorrect. Under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi Ji we are committed to the development and prosperity of Kerala,” Gopi said.
