Saurashtra retains grip in Gujarat govt overhaul
The Morning Standard
|October 18, 2025
CHIEF Minister Bhupendra Patel's 3.0 cabinet is a carefully calculated blend of caste, region, youth, and power, clearly designed with an eye on the 2027 Assembly elections and upcoming municipal polls.
Every decisionfrom who sits at the table to the age and wealth of ministers-sends a message about the Gujarat BJP's strategy and priorities.
Saurashtra remains central to the BJP's calculations. Once the stronghold of the late former CM Vijay Rupani, Saurashtra continues to hold political weight even without him. Nine of the 26 ministers come from Saurashtra-Kutch, showing the region's continued influence in municipal and Assembly elections. Central Gujarat has seven ministers, while South and North Gujarat have increased in numbers but lost some of their relative importance.
