GANDHINAGAR: All is not smartly in the newly inducted Vijay Rupani executive. Signs of discontent were visible as deputy leader minister Nitin Patel, who suffered the ignominy of being stripped off 3 key portfolios - finance, city development and petroleum - did not assume office in the Sachivalaya in Gandhinagar on Friday whilst many ministers took fee.
Power corridors are abuzz with speculation that Patel, who used to be relegated to the put up of deputy CM at the eleventh hour instead of the highest put up in 2016, is in no temper to position up with every other embarrassment. Patel, who is learnt to have demanded finance and urban development portfolios this time too, feels he is being "cut to size", in line with a detailed aide.
"The DyCM, who had made his displeasure known to the top leadership over key portfolios being taken away from him on Thursday, was told that his grievance would be resolved in two days. Patel is adamant that if his bosses do not keep their word, he will quit on the grounds that his self-respect is being hurt," stated a best supply with regards to the improvement.
While Patel may now not be reached for a remark, sources stated that he's disappointed over multiple problems. His most important grouse is being divested of the finance ministry, conventionally regarded as a keep of the No. 2 in the cupboard. His junior Saurabh Patel has been given the portfolio. Two other key portfolios, specifically city development and petroleum, held by way of the deputy CM were taken by way of Rupani himself.
Officially, all lips were sealed. "There is no dispute or differences between any leaders to my knowledge. If there is any problem, we will sort it out," stated BJP state president Jitu Vaghani.
