Bhupendra Patel's Gujarat cabinet gets a makeover. Here's the full list of ministers

Apart from Patel, the new team comprises 25 ministers including surprise pick, Indian cricketer Ravindra Jadeja's wife Rivaba Jadeja.

All Gujarat ministers except CM Patel on Thursday resigned for the reshuffle, which is viewed as a strategic reset ahead of the local body polls and next assembly elections in 2027.

All 25 ministers were sworn in by Governor Acharya Devvrat.

The new council of ministers included six outgoing ministers and 19 new faces.

In terms of caste composition, the new cabinet comprises eight ministers from the OBC community, six from the Patidar community, four from tribal community, three from Scheduled Castes, two from Kshatriya community and one each from Brahmin and Jain (Laghumati) communities, India Today reported.

State Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi has been appointed as the Deputy Chief Minister.

BJP national president Jagat Prakash Nadda was present at the swearing-in ceremony.

Bhupendra Patel, who succeeded late Vijay Rupani, took oath as the CM on September 13, 2021.

Patel was reappointed as the Chief Minister after the BJP stormed back to power in 2022.
