George Kurian, hailing from Kottayam, Kerala, joined the BJP in 1980. Known for his soft-spoken demeanor, Kurian has been a prominent voice for the party. He served as Vice-Chairman of the National Minorities Commission in 2017. Earlier, he was an officer on special duty to Minister O. Rajagopal during the Vajpayee government.
Kurian’s ministerial role strengthens BJP’s outreach to the Christian community. Appointed in June, his leadership represents a bridge between the government and minority communities.
