Additionally, Home Minister Amit Shah is expected to attend the ceremony, arriving in Ahmedabad at 12:30 pm to participate. Bhupendra Patel, who holds a strong influence in the Patidar community, has been prepared by the BJP to lead them in the upcoming elections.

Notably, Bhupendra Patel has never served as a minister in the state government. Similarly, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had no prior ministerial experience before becoming the Chief Minister of Gujarat 20 years ago. Modi was sworn in as Chief Minister on October 7, 2001, and subsequently elected as an MLA on February 24, 2002, by winning the by-election to the Rajkot assembly seat. Most of the 112 BJP MLAs in the 182-member assembly attended the meeting.

Bhupendra Patel, known for his close ties to former Gujarat Chief Minister and current Governor of Uttar Pradesh, Anandiben Patel, represents an assembly constituency that is part of the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha seat, previously held by Amit Shah. Holding a diploma in civil engineering, Patel expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP president JP Nadda, and Amit Shah for entrusting him with this significant responsibility.

From starting his political journey at the municipal level, Bhupendra Patel has risen to the top post in state politics. Known for his soft-spoken demeanor, Patel was not initially considered among the top candidates for the Chief Minister position. He first contested the 2017 election from the Ghatlodiya seat, defeating Congress candidate Shashikant Patel by over one lakh votes, the largest margin of victory in that election.
