MUMBI: Even as all attention has been  focused on MeITy and railways minister Ashwini Vasihnaw getting additional oversight of the ministry of information & broadcasting (MIB),  what has been under-reported is the   handing over  of the minister of state  position to L. Murugan in the same ministry. Murugan was earlier appointed as minister of state in 2021, prior to which he was the state president of the BJP IN Tamil Nadu.

The 47 year old is a law graduate and a doctorate holder from the University of Madras who has been practising law for more than 15 years. He has been associated with the RSS since 1997, having served as the standing counsel to the Indian government at the Madras high court

Murugan’s appointment should work well in favour of both the industry and Vaishnaw as a whole lot of regulations and decisions are pending with the ministry.
