Gandhinagar: In a political purge seen as BJP’s most audacious experiment yet, PM Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat on Thursday lived up to its reputation as the saffron party’s laboratory with a “no-repeat” government of 24 new faces, most of them freshers, replacing all 22 ministers from the erstwhile Vijay Rupani cabinet.
The tsunami of transformation capped a frenetic six days for the state, starting with Rupani’s sudden resignation as chief minister last Saturday and the even more surprising elevation of first-time MLA Bhupendra Patel to the top post in the state.
The writing was on the wall for Team Rupani on Wednesday given the no-repeat formula (as reported by TOI on Sept 16) even as most of them spent the day trying to lobby with the state BJP leadership in a last-ditch attempt to save their places. While the swearing-in had to be postponed by a day amid murmurs of discontent, even that rare episode of discord in the party did not alter the central leadership’s resolve to prop up a new team of netas to lead Gujarat into the 2022 polls.
