SKM Urges Piyush Goyal Dismissal From Cabinet
The opposition INDIA bloc has urged President Droupadi Murmu to dismiss Union Minister Piyush Goyal from the cabinet, accusing him of failing to uphold ethical standards and misusing official position. The call for removal comes amid ongoing political contention over alleged irregularities linked to Goyal’s office.
SKM Urges President Murmu To Dismiss Piyush Goyal
The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) wrote to President Murmu seeking Goyal’s removal from the Union Cabinet. SKM claimed that the minister’s conduct has undermined public trust and urged the head of state to take action in the interest of accountability. The letter argues that Goyal’s continued presence in the cabinet is untenable given the allegations raised against him.
Allegations Against Piyush Goyal And Response
Opposition groups have levelled allegations of impropriety and misuse of office against Goyal, asserting that he has not provided satisfactory explanations for the issues raised. Goyal has denied any wrongdoing and described the criticism as politically motivated. Supporters of the minister have rejected calls for his dismissal, saying there is no legal basis for removal and that existing inquiries should be allowed to proceed.
Political Impact And Cabinet Stability Debate
The demand for Goyal’s dismissal has triggered debate within political circles about ethical accountability and cabinet stability. Opposition leaders argue that ministers must be held to high standards of conduct and that failure to act undermines democratic norms. Government allies have defended the cabinet, stressing that allegations alone should not determine a minister’s fate without due process. The controversy is likely to persist as parties prepare for upcoming elections.
