Union Minister of State George Kurian resigns from the Union Cabinet after his Rajya Sabha term comes to an end. Multiple outlets report that President Droupadi Murmu accepts his resignation with immediate effect on the advice of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The resignation follows the end of Kurian’s Rajya Sabha tenure, which is reported to have concluded on June 21. Media accounts also state that the BJP does not renominate him to the Rajya Sabha for a new term, which leads to his stepping down from the ministerial position. One report notes that Kurian’s resignation is linked to cabinet reshuffle speculation, while another describes his personal role in meeting to submit the resignation after his term ended. Coverage also identifies him as a BJP leader from Kerala and a former Rajya Sabha member, including remarks about his background and his gratitude for the opportunity to serve. Across reports, the central point remains consistent: Kurian resigns because his Rajya Sabha term expires and he is not renominated, and the President accepts his resignation accordingly.
