The BJP's seventh term in power in Gujarat will begin today with a grand oath ceremony for Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, who had replaced Vijay Rupani in September last year, ahead of the elections in the state. Around 25 cabinet ministers will also take an oath with him. Contrary to concerns about growing anti-incumbency, the BJP had achieved a landslide victory in Gujarat - winning 156 of the state's 182 seats and 53 per cent vote share.
