It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve Bharat Mata and Tamil Nadu under the leadership of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji. From the son of daily wage laborers to serving in the Union Council of Ministers under the leadership of Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi Ji has been the greatest privilege of my life. Now, I wish to return to the grassroots, stand with our workers and dedicate myself full-time to strengthening the BJP in Tamil Nadu ahead of the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. Nation First. PartyNext. Self Last. 🙏🇮🇳 @NitinNabin @blsanthosh

Murugan wrote in his letter, serving Mother India and Tamil Nadu under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been the greatest honor of my life. I do not come from any political family. My journey began as the son of a daily wage laborer and getting the opportunity to serve in the Union Council of Ministers under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi has been the greatest privilege of my life. Now, I want to get back to the grassroots level. I want to stand with my workers and dedicate myself fully to strengthening BJP in Tamil Nadu before the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. He wrote that for me, the nation is supreme, then the party and last of all myself.
