Two Cabinet Ministers in Gujarat divested of Revenue and Road & Building portfolios

In a sudden development, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel on Saturday stripped Cabinet Ministers Rajendra Trivedi and Purnesh Modi of the Revenue and the Road and Building portfolios, respectively, months ahead of the Assembly elections, sources said.

While the CM will hold the additional charge of both the Ministries as of now, Minister of State for Home Harsh Sanghavi has been given the additional responsibility of Revenue as its MoS while Minister of State for Industries and Forest and Environment, Jagdish Panchal, will be the MoS for the Road and Building department, sources in the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said on Saturday night.

Mr. Trivedi is now left with the Ministries of Disaster Management, Law and Justice, Legislative and Parliamentary Affairs while Mr. Modi will continue to hold Transport, Civil Aviation, Tourism and Pilgrimage Development.
