Ahmedabad, 11/9: In a big development, Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani on Saturday resigned from his post, over a year before the state goes to polls.
It is not clear what prompted the development in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state where elections to the 182-member Assembly are due in December next year. Rupani (65) was sworn in as chief minister – his second stint as CM – in December 2017.
“I have resigned as chief minister of Gujarat,” Rupani told reporters after meeting Governor Acharya Devvrat and submitting his resignation letter.
