Over 20 cabinet ministers will also take oath today, along with Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Bhupendra Patel is all set to take oath as the Chief Minister of Gujarat for a second consecutive time in Gandhinagar on Monday.
Patel will be administered the oath as the 18th Chief Minister by Governor Acharya Devvrat at the Helipad Ground near the new Secretariat in Gandhinagar at 2 pm.
The ceremony will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Ministers of BJP-led states.
BJP swept the Gujarat Assembly election winning a whopping 156 seats, which is the highest number of seats any party has won after the formation of the state in the year 1960.
The BJP’s seventh consecutive Assembly poll win in Gujarat is its biggest since the founding of this state in 1960.
Patel was sworn in as the 17th Chief Minister of Gujarat on September 13, 2021. Breaking his own record, Patel once again won from Ghatlodia constituency by a staggering margin of 1,91,000 votes in the 2022 election.
This overwhelming majority of the BJP in Gujarat depicts the absolute faith of the people in Patel’s leadership. (ANI)
