POWER OF TWO: Gujarat chief minister Vijay Rupani and state BJP chief C.R. Patil in Gandhinagar

Patil took over as president of the state unit of the BJP in Gujarat in July 2020, he had only one major achievement to his credit, winning the Navsari Lok Sabha seat by 689,000 votes, the highest victory margin in general elections in India.

The opposition Congress drew a blank, its first such humiliation in the state’s history.
