Congress Claims Suresh Gopi Wants to Quit Ministerial Post Hours After Swearing-In

Date:

On Monday, the Kerala unit of the Congress claimed that actor and BJP MP Suresh Gopi “wants to quit” just hours after taking the oath as the Minister of State. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Kerala Congress took a jab at the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, suggesting that Gopi, who was sworn in as a minister on Sunday, now “wants to quit because he wants to do films!” The post criticized the BJP and Modi, questioning why Gopi could not decide on his priorities before taking the oath in the name of God and the constitution.

However, Suresh Gopi refuted these claims in a statement to CNBC-TV18, saying, “I have already accepted the ministerial position, and I have been sworn in.” Gopi, the first and only BJP MP from Kerala, won the Thrissur seat in the recently concluded Lok Sabha Elections 2024. He has become a prominent figure representing the ‘Modiyude Guarantee’ (Modi’s Guarantee) promise to Kerala. He was inducted into the Union Council of Ministers in PM Modi’s government, taking his oath at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Sunday.

After his victory in Thrissur, Gopi had previously stated, “As an MP, I can do the work of various ministries. I do not want to be a minister. There can be new revolutionary working platforms.” He emphasized his commitment to implementing projects for the people of Kerala, seeking cooperation from the relevant ministries.

Following the election results on June 4, Gopi expressed his elation to ANI, saying, “I am in totally an ecstatic mood. What was very impossible became gloriously possible…it was not a 62-day campaign process, it was an emotional carriage for the past seven years…I work for Kerala as a whole. My first pick will be to have AIIMS.” On the day of his swearing-in ceremony (June 9), Gopi mentioned he was not expecting to be in the Council of Ministers, stating, “As an MP, I have to work to expand the BJP in the South.”
