President Murmu Accepts L Murugan's Resignation Amid Cabinet Vacancies
President Droupadi Murmu accepted Union Minister L Murugan's resignation, effective immediately, as he seeks to strengthen the BJP's presence in Tamil Nadu. Murugan's departure marks the third recent resignation from the Council of Ministers, following George Kurian and Ravneet Singh Bittu, who left after not being renominated for Rajya Sabha seats. These vacancies have sparked speculation about a potential Cabinet reshuffle, though the government has not announced any immediate changes. Murugan has also indicated his intention to resign from the Rajya Sabha.
