In interview with ThePrint, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi, who was the BJP observer in Gujarat, also said new CM Bhupendra Patel was the most acceptable face in the state.
Heavy rains battered parts of Saurashtra region Monday and low-lying areas got flooded. Patel has instructed the authorities to airlift stranded people in rain-hit Jamnagar district.
Patel, unanimously elected BJP legislature party leader, was sworn in as the state's 17th CM by Governor Acharya Devvrat. Amit Shah was among those present at the ceremony.
Patel, a first-time MLA, was picked to replace Vijay Rupani, who resigned. He has worked with Modi when he was Gujarat CM, but never served as minister.
Bhupendra Patel is a low-profile first-time MLA, but has been selected to lead the BJP into next year’s assembly polls instead of Vijay Rupani, who resigned a day before.
