Gujarat confidential: CM’s Surprise visit

On World Tribal Day earlier this week, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel paid a surprise visit to an ashramshala in Gunsada village of Songadh taluka in Tapi district. He was accompanied by state cabinet ministers Kubersinh Dindor and Kunwarji Halpati. Visuals from the site showed loose electric cables hanging outside a classroom. The Chief Minister expressed displeasure at the sight and inquired with the school authorities about the number of students enrolled, which was said to be in hundreds. He called for Tapi District Collector Vipin Garg. In a stern message, he asked him to get the hazardous loose cables fixed immediately.

Parallels were drawn between the journeys of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday at an event the CM attended in Ahmedabad. “There is one thing in common between Chief Minister Patel and Prime Minister Modi. Before they became chief ministers, they did not hold any ministerial posts in the past. They directly took charge of the chief minister’s post,” said the announcer as the CM was welcomed at the event organised by the Maheshwari community in Shahibaug. The Chief Minister reacted to the observation by folding his hands.
