Film Career Interruption Leads Suresh Gopi to Offer Ministerial Resignation

Union Minister Suresh Gopi has voiced his intention to resign from his ministerial responsibilities, citing the complete cessation of his income from acting as the primary reason. Speaking at a recent party function, Gopi, a well-known personality in Malayalam cinema, revealed his deep-seated desire to resume his film career. He currently serves as the Union Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas and Tourism. ‘I need to earn more; my income has now stopped completely,’ Gopi explained, indicating that financial imperatives are driving his decision. He further recommended C Sadanandan Master, a senior BJP leader and Rajya Sabha member from Kerala, as his successor in the Union Cabinet. Gopi spoke highly of Master’s political acumen and suggested his elevation would be a noteworthy development for Kerala. This announcement underscores the personal sacrifices and financial adjustments often required when prominent individuals transition into politics, particularly when their previous careers were highly lucrative.
