L. Murugan resigns from Ministry, Rajya Sabha seat, setting off buzz about a pre-Deepavali Cabinet reset
L. Murugan has stepped down from his ministerial role and his Rajya Sabha seat, sparking speculation about a cabinet reshuffle before Deepavali. Earlier this year, four other ministers—George Kurian, Ravneet Singh Bittu, Hardeep Puri, and B.L. Verma—also left the upper house. Dharmendra Pradhan was compelled to resign, creating several vacancies in the Council of Ministers.
