Actor and BJP MP from Kerala, Suresh Gopi, has firmly denied rumours that he plans to resign from his position as Minister of State, labeling the reports as “grossly incorrect.”
Suresh Gopi, who recently became the first BJP MP from Kerala by winning the Thrissur seat, stated his commitment to strengthening the BJP’s presence in South India.
He emphasized his focus on executing development projects for Kerala in line with national goals.
Earlier, the Kerala Congress had claimed that Gopi wanted to resign just hours after being sworn in as a Minister of State.
They posted a video on social media suggesting that Gopi wished to leave his ministerial position to return to acting in films.
The Congress questioned the BJP’s intentions and criticized the alleged resignation as a mockery of voters.
However, Suresh Gopi clarified that he has accepted his ministerial role and has been officially sworn in. He highlighted his dedication to working for Kerala and implementing important projects.
Gopi’s victory in the recent Lok Sabha elections marked a significant achievement for the BJP in Kerala, often referred to as a “Modi’s Guarantee” win.
He expressed his joy at this unexpected triumph and his readiness to contribute to Kerala’s development, including advocating for an AIIMS in the state.
On the day of his swearing-in, Gopi mentioned he was surprised to be included in the Council of Ministers but reiterated his commitment to expanding the BJP’s influence in the southern region.
