Gujarat CM oath-taking ceremony: Patel was administered the oath as the 18th Chief Minister by Governor Acharya Devvrat at a grand ceremony attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and members of the Union Cabinet.
Gujarat Chief Minister oath ceremony: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Bhupendra Patel on Monday took oath as the Chief Minister of Gujarat for a second straight term at a star-studded ceremony in Gandhinagar along with a 16-member Council of Ministers, which included one woman, and later allocated portfolios to his team members, keeping home and revenue with himself. Patel (60) was administered the oath as the 18th Chief Minister by Governor Acharya Devvrat at a grand ceremony attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, members of the Union Cabinet and chief ministers of BJP-ruled states at the Helipad Ground near the new Secretariat, four days after the BJP stormed to power in the state with a historic mandate. Sixteen other ministers, eight of them of cabinet rank -- the new ministerial team has representation from Patidar, Koli, tribal and Dalit communities -- were also sworn-in after the BJP won its seventh straight term in office in Gujarat with victory in a record 156 Assembly seats in the 182-member House. The new entrants include 11 former ministers.
