“Our leader and former Chief Minister, Vijay Rupani, was going (to London) to meet his family. He is also a victim of this incident. May his soul rest in peace. This is a big loss for the BJP,” Union Minister CR Patil told news agency.
Rupani, 68, was among the 242 people on board the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which crashed into a residential area in Meghani Nagar moments after takeoff on Thursday afternoon.
Rupani, the 16th chief minister of Gujarat for two terms from 2016 to 2021, was born to Mayaben and Ramniklal Rupani in Yangon, Myanmar, to a Jain Bania family. Rupani was the seventh and youngest son of the couple. Rupani’s family moved to Rajkot in 1960 due to political instability in Burma. Rupani studied Arts from Dharmendrasinhji Arts College and Law from Saurashtra University.
