Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani resigns

The Hindu  

In a sudden but not unexpected move, Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani resigned on Saturday after completing five years at the helm, paving the way for a change of guard ahead of crucial Assembly polls next year. “I have resigned as chief minister of Gujarat,” Mr. Rupani told reporters after meeting the Governor. His ouster was certain,” a top party leader told The Hindu, adding “main reason for his ouster is that the top leadership was not happy with his performance in governance and he did not inspire confidence in the leadership about facing Assembly polls with him at the helm.” Pandemic impact The first indication of the party high command’s displeasure came in April 2020 during the first wave of pandemic when the situation in Ahmedabad spiralled out of control and Delhi had to force administrative changes in the State. He took charge with the blessings of then party president and now Home Minister Amit Shah, who did not want another Patidar as the Chief Minister after Ms Patel’s departure.
