Former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, his deputy, Nitin Patel, and other top Cabinet colleagues of his erstwhile government have opted out of contesting the Assembly election.
The move came just before the National Parliamentary Board of the BJP began its crucial meet on Wednesday to select candidates for the election.
Mr. Rupani announced the decision in Rajkot, while Mr. Patel wrote to State party chief C.R. Paatil regarding his decision to not contest the forthcoming polls.
Subsequently, former Ministers Kaushik Patel, Saurabh Patel, R.C. Faldu, Bhupendrasinh Chudasama and Pradipsinh Jadeja separately announced their decision to opt out of the race.
Most of these leaders had served in the governments headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he was the Chief Minister of the State and then the Anandiben Patel-led government and subsequently the Rupani administration since 2016 to 2021.
They praised the BJP leadership for giving them an opportunity to serve the party and people, while singularly praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.
