NEW DELHI - In a shake up ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, India’s Environment Minister Jayanthi Natarajan resigned on Dec 21 from the Union Council of Ministers, amid speculation that more may be drafted for party work. The resignation of 59-year-old Natarajan, Minister of State with independent charge of Environment and Forests, has been accepted by the President.
It also said that Oil Minister M Veerappa Moily will hold additional charge of the Environment Ministry. Natarajan, a senior member of Rajya Sabha in her third term, hails from Tamil Nadu and was brought into the ministry two years ago.   (PTI)
