Ex-Ministers
- E. P. Jayarajan (CPI(M)) - Minister for Industries and Sports until his resignation on 14 October 2016 because of charges of nepotism.[1] In September 2017, the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) acquitted Jayarajan in the nepotism case and sought to close the case.[2]
- A. K. Saseendran (NCP) - Minister for Transport from 25 May 2016 until his resignation on 26 March 2017 after a sting operation revealed him seeking sexual favours from a woman.[3] In November 2017, Saseendran received a clean chit from the inquiry commission which said that it had no conclusive evidence before it to prove the charge.[4]
- Thomas Chandy (NCP) - Minister for Transport (from April 1 2017 to 15 November 2017). The businessman-turned-politician resigned over allegations that he had encroached on water bodies and public land and converted paddy fields for a private hotel project.[5]
