New Delhi, May 15, 2023: The Stalin-led cabinet in Tamil Nadu government has been reshuffled for the second time since 2021. State Milk and Dairy Development Minister SM Nasar has been dropped and MLA TRB Rajaa has been included in the council of ministers. Governor RN Ravi has accepted CM Stalin’s recommendations, a Raj Bhavan statement said on Tuesday.
The CM has recommended to the Governor to “induct Dr TRB Rajaa, an MLA from Mannargudi constituency, in the Council of Ministers,” the statement said. Ravi has approved the recommendation.
Further, the Governor has also approved the CM’s recommendation “to drop SM Nasar, Minister for Milk and Dairy Development from the Council of Ministers,” it added.
Nasar was in the news a few months ago for allegedly hurling a stone at a party worker over some issue, a video of which had gone viral, inviting flak from various quarters according to the reports published in indiatoday.in.
Rajaa is the son of senior party leader and Lok Sabha MP TR Baalu. The MLA will be sworn-in as minister on May 11, the Raj Bhavan added.
