The swearing-in of the new cabinet in Gujarat has been postponed. The cabinet was to be formed today, two days after the oath of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, but, before that, some teammates were said to be angry. Earlier the program which was scheduled for 2 pm was postponed for the evening and now it is expected to happen tomorrow. Former Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, Deputy CM Nitin Patel are said to be angry about Bhupendra Patel's new team.
Actually, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel wants a new entire cabinet. The number of women in the cabinet can also be increased. It is being told that out of the 11 cabinet ministers in the Vijay Rupani government, only Dilip Thakor, Ganpat Vasava, and Jayesh Radadia are expected to be included in the new cabinet.
A senior BJP leader says that Bhupendra Patel is the new Chief Minister, so his team will also have new members. Earlier it was being said that there would be some senior ministers in his cabinet, but now it does not seem so. At the same time, the equations of caste and region will also be taken into account. Instead of keeping 22 or 25 members in the cabinet, the entire cabinet of 27 members is expected to be formed.
