All Gujarat ministers except CM Bhupendra Patel resign ahead of major Cabinet reshuffle on October 17

All 16 ministers Thursday submitted their resignations to Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel ahead of cabinet expansion, reports citing BJP sources said.

The state may get around 10 new ministers in the upcoming cabinet expansion, a senior BJP leader earlier said, adding that nearly half of the present ministers may be replaced.

"Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel's cabinet will be expanded on Friday at 11.30 am," a government release said.
