Gujarat : Amidst backbiting in the Gujarat BJP over ministerial berths, the swearing-in of new ministers in the Gujarat Cabinet of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel will take place on Thursday at Raj Bhawan in Gandhinagar at 1 pm. All Ministers are expected to be new as the BJP has decided to drop all who served in the Vijay Rupani administration.

According to sources, more than 20 leaders would be sworn in as ministers. The majority of ministers in the cabinet headed by previous Chief Minister Vijay Rupani are likely to be dropped, the sources said.

“The swearing-in ceremony of the new Cabinet of CM Shri Bhupendra Patel will take place tomorrow, September 16 at 1.30 p.m. at Raj Bhavan, Gandhinagar,” the CMO tweeted on Wednesday evening.

The oath-taking was earlier slated to be held on Wednesday though no official message was issued in this regard, but due to protests and wrangling by senior leaders and others, it was abruptly cancelled. Subsequently, the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) tweeted that the swearing-in will take place on Thursday.
