I need to earn more; my income has now stopped completely," he said, news agency ANI reported. Suresh Gopi said that he is the youngest member in his party. Meanwhile, he suggested appointing Rajya Sabha MP C. Sadanandan Master in his place as Union Minister.&nbsp;"I have never prayed to become a minister. A day before the elections, I told reporters that I do not want to become a minister, I want to continue with my cinema. I took membership of the party in October 2008 ... it was the first MP chosen by people and the party felt they needed to make me the minister," said the Union Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas and the Minister of Tourism.<h3>Suresh Gopi says his remarks were often twisted</h3>Earlier this year, President Droupadi Murmu nominated the BJP veteran Sadanandan Master from Kannur to the Rajya Sabha.

Will he or won't he? Suresh Gopi was sworn in as a Minister of State (MoS) in the third government of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, but soon it was reported that the BJP MP from Kerala wanted to "get relieved from the Cabinet." The actor on Monday (June 10) took to X to refute the news and stated that he had no plans to resign. During the Lok Sabha election 2024 campaign, the actor-turned-politician’s major poll campaign was "a Union minister for Thrissur, Modi’s guarantee." Gopi was one of the two BJP nominees from Kerala — the other one was senior party leader George Kurian — who has been inducted into the Union Cabinet as a Minister of State. Gopi's election triumph was the BJP's first-ever win in Kerala in the Lok Sabha elections. After the swearing-in ceremony, Gopi reportedly told Malayalam TV channels in Delhi, “I want to work as an MP. My stand was that I didn’t want it (Cabinet berth). I had told (the party) that I was not interested in it (Cabinet berth). I think I will be relieved soon”. “The people of Thrissur know very well. I will perform very well as an MP. I want to act in films. Let the party decide,” he said.

Before leaving for Delhi on Sunday, Gopi told the media at the Thiruvananthapuram airport, “This (a Cabinet berth) is Modi’s decision. He called me and asked me to be at his home. I am obeying. I do not know anything else. I would be an MP who is working for Kerala and Tamil Nadu. I had already told people of Thrissur during the campaigning”.
