BJP expects to make an impact ahead of the 2022 Assembly polls with this new-look ministry
By Abdulhafiz Lakhani Gandhinagar
In a shocking and surprising chain of events in Gandhinagar outgoing ministry of the Vijay Rupani is totally ignored and total 24 new ministers led by New CM Bhupendra Patel were administrated oath by governer Acharya Devvrat today in Raj Bhavan today on Thursday today. Nimaben Acharya is new Speaker.
No minister of the erstwhile Rupani Administration is being retained in the new cabinet as the ruling party adopts “no repeat” formula in the cabinet formation.
Three days after Bhupendra Patel replaced Vijay Rupani as Gujarat Chief Minister, Governor Acharya Devvrat administered the oath of office to State ministers at the Raj Bhavan in Gandhinagar on Thursday.
Assembly Speaker in the last administration Rajendra Trivedi, ex-State BJP president Jitu Vaghani, Rushikesh Patel, Raghavji Patel, and Purnesh Modi were among those who were sworn in as cabinet ministers of the new administration.
Kanubhai Desai, Naresh Patel, Kiritsinh Rana, Pradip Parmar, and Arjunsinh Chauhan were sworn in as Cabinet Ministers.
While Harsh Sanghavi, Jagadish Panchal, Brijesh Merza, Jitu Chaudhari, and Manish Vakil were sworn in as Ministers of State.
The BJP decided to drop all who served in the Vijay Rupani administration. Though there is no official word about what is being called the “no repeat theory” that the BJP leadership has decided to implement in Gujarat ahead of the next year’s Assembly election, party insiders said that no Minister of the previous administration would be retained in the new Cabinet.
The BJP has effected a change of guard in Gujarat with the 59-year-old first-time legislator Mr. Bhupendra Patel replacing Mr. Rupani on Monday.
Political observers say the BJP expects to make an impact ahead of the 2022 Assembly polls with this new-look ministry.
After picking Patel, a Patidar community leader as the CM, the BJP has given berth to six Patels and OBCs each, four from scheduled tribes, three from scheduled castes, two each from among brahmins and kshatriyas and one member from the Jain community.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday congratulated the 24 ministers who took oath as part of the Gujarat Cabinet’s swearing-in ceremony. He said these newly-inducted ministers are “outstanding karyakartas who have devoted their lives to public service and spreading our party’s development agenda”.
Taking to Twitter, PM Modi wrote: “Congratulations to all Party colleagues who have taken oath as Ministers in the Gujarat Government. These are outstanding Karyakartas who have devoted their lives to public service and spreading our Party’s development agenda. Best wishes for a fruitful tenure ahead.”
