Aaj Ki Baat: For first time in India, all 22 ministers in a state dropped, all 24 are newcomers
A brand new team has taken over the reins in Gujarat, with not just a new chief minister but an entire cabinet that's fresh. Out of the 24 inducted on Thursday, 21 have become ministers for the first time. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) confidently followed the "no-repeat" formula by not inducting any member from the earlier Vijay Rupani-led ministry. Visibly, the saffron party is aiming to make an impact ahead of the 2022 assembly polls with the all-new avatar.
