Gujarat Cabinet Ministers Oath Taking Ceremony Highlights: New CM of Gujarat Bhupendra Singh Patel today inducted 24 new ministers into his council of ministers. Gujarat Governor Acharya Devavrat administered oath to new minister at the Raj Bhavan in Gandhinagar. There had been suspense over ministerial faces in the backdrop of the BJP’s “no repeat” formula.

Earlier, the ruling BJP had announced that the swearing-in ceremony would be held on Wednesday afternoon and preparations for the same had started at the governor’s house in the state capital. However, the plan was later dropped all of a sudden and banners of the swearing-in ceremony were also taken down. Patel (59), a first-time MLA from Ahmedabad, took over as the new Gujarat chief minister on Monday after the sudden resignation of Vijay Rupani last Saturday.

Bhupendra Patel Cabinet Swearing-in Live News: The oath taking ceremony will take place at 1.30 pm

Bhupendra Patel Cabinet Swearing-in Live News: The oath taking ceremony will take place at 1.30 pm. CM Patel has succeded Vijay Rupani, who resigned after completing five years in the office. 

According to sources, the BJP leadership has decided to try new faces this time and drop almost all the past ministers, even some senior ones, who were part of the previous Rupani government. However, there was no official word from the BJP about it. Many believe that the "no repeat" formula has been proposed keeping in mind the 2022 Assembly polls as the BJP, which has been in power in Gujarat for more than two decades, wants to go to voters with a clean slate.
