Thiruvananthapuram : A day after the National Leadership ofr Janata Dal has decided to replace its nominee in LDF government, Water Resource Minister Mathew T Thomas will be stepping down from the post today.
As per the reports, the resignation letter will be handed over to the Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan at the earliest. However, the minister made it clear that the decision was indeed painful for him.
He also added that his righteousness might've gone not well with some people and there were deliberate attempts to defame his family members. During a press meet, Danish Ali said the change of guard is in tune with the agreement among the leadership regarding rotation of ministerial berth taken in 2016 when the LDF government assumed office.
