Taking a jibe at BJP, Congress leader P Chidambaram on Friday said Vijay Rupani-led government in Gujarat “was voted out of office by a no-confidence motion passed by the BJP High Command of One”.

"The Rupani-led BJP government in Gujarat was voted out of office by a no-confidence motion passed by the BJP High Command of One. Thank god it was done before the people of Gujarat voted it out in December 2022," he said.

"When the new Bhupendra Patel-led government seeks a vote of confidence from the people, it will be voted out too," he added.

The BJP on Thursday inducted 24 members, including 21 who debuted as ministers, into the four-day-old Bhupendra Patel-led ministry, discarding all ministers in the previous Vijay Rupani-led regime in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state of Gujarat.
