On February 24, Chhabil Patel from Abdasa assembly seat of Kutch district and Prabhu Vasava from the Mandvi assembly seat of Surat district submitted their resignation to Gujarat assembly speaker Vaju Vala.
Patel is a two-time Congress MLA, though his political career began with the BJP, which he had left 18 years ago.
However, Vasava, who was president of the Surat district Congress unit, had no prior links to the BJP.
