The Kerala unit of the Congress took a dig at the BJP and at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, claiming that the BJP MP and newly elected minister Suresh Gopi “wants to quit because he wants to do films!”
The Kerala unit of the Congress claimed on Monday that actor and BJP MP Suresh Gopi “wants to quit” just hours after taking oath as the Minister of State. Posting a video clip on X (formerly Twitter) Monday, 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!”
The post, reacting to the news of Gopi “quitting” as a minister, said, “@BJP4India @narendramodi why this mockery of voters? Why don’t you tell your MP to first decide what he wants to do in life, and most importantly, stop this show in front of the media after taking oath in the name of God and the constitution.”
Gopi and his supporters are making claims that he will be made the minister with a cabinet rank and has given only the rank of a minister of State.
Suresh Gopi, the newly elected Parliament member from Thrissur Lok Sabha constituency, is learnt to have expressed his willingness to resign from Narendra Modi ministry, citing his busy film schedules.
However, sources close to the actor said that Gopi is unhappy for not giving him a cabinet rank and he has reportedly conveyed his unhappiness to the party leadership. The actor has reportedly conveyed the BJP leadership that he will work for the people in Thrissur as an MP. However, his elections agents in Thrissur are unaware of any such developments
Suresh Gopi is the first BJP candidate to win a Parliament seat from Kerala in the elections. Gopi and his supporters are making claims that he will be made the minister with a cabinet rank and has given only the rank of a minister of State.
