Why did Gujarat chief minister Vijay Rupani resign?

In yet another surprise, the BJP on Saturday dropped Vijay Rupani as the Chief Minister of Gujarat just 15 months ahead of the state going to polls to arrest anti-incumbency.

According to sources, the party was not optimistic about facing the next Gujarat elections under his leadership.

The BJP under Vijay Rupani is also said to have been facing the heat over the management of the Covid-19 situation.
