- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @Thrissur

Union Minister of State Suresh Gopi courted controversy on Sunday with his remark that persons from "upper castes" should be put in charge of tribal affairs portfolio. The actor-politician, however, withdrew his remarks later in the day following criticism from various corners.

Addressing a BJP election campaign meeting in New Delhi, Suresh Gopi said he had always wanted to be part of the tribal welfare ministry.

He said it was time for persons "born in upper caste" to oversee the ministry for the welfare of tribal people.
