anandi ben’s failing
health causes concern
Who
will be the next chief minister of Gujarat? Don’t be surprised at this
question. No doubt, Anandi Ben Patel enjoys a majority and is ruling as a chief
minister of the state. She does not have any threat from opponents as long as
Narendra Modi remains at the helm of affairs in India. Then why will she be
replaced? Sometimes in politics, one can control circumstances but health
issues are unmanageable. Sources in Ahmedabad disclose that Patel has not been
keeping well. She is fighting an undisclosed serious disease. The top BJP
leadership is aware about the health problems of the chief minister and is in
the process of relieving her. Under the circumstances, the most prominent name
emerging for the coveted post is that of Saurav Patel. He is at present the Minister
for Finance, Energy and Petrochemicals, Mines, Minerals, Cottage
Industries, Salt Industries, Printing and Stationery, Planning, Tourism and
Civil Aviation, among other portfolios. Some of these are very important
departments in the state. Saurav, interestingly, is related to the most
powerful business house, Reliance Industries. He is married to the first cousin
of Mukesh and Anil Ambani and is the son-in-law of Ramnikbhai Ambani, elder
brother of the late Dhirubhai Ambani. With the ongoing corporate war in
Gujarat, it remains to be seen if Saurav will be the next chief minister or
somebody else will be chosen.
