Amid power tussle between the old ministers and therefore the new names that were being considered, Bhupendra Patel decided to drop all ministers of the Vijay Rupani government and obtain an altogether fresh Cabinet. Assembly Speaker Rajendra Trivedi resigned from the Assembly to hitch the cupboard and took oath on Thursday. The removal of Nitin Patel, the previous deputy chief minister, from the cupboard comes as surprise as he was widely alleged to be the chief minister after Rupani resigned.
