The meeting between Patel and Modi has sparked speculation about potential cabinet changes and the appointment of a new Gujarat BJP president.
Sources suggest that Delhi has been witnessing intense backchannel discussions on Gujarat politics, with the long-awaited cabinet reshuffle and the appointment of a new state chief being key topics of discussion.
The meeting is part of a larger political tradition in India, fostering a spirit of cooperative federalism. Patel’s interaction with Modi reflects the ongoing dialogue between state and central governments, aimed at accelerating Gujarat’s progress and development.
This is not the first time Patel has met Modi. On December 11, he paid a courtesy visit to the Prime Minister in New Delhi to seek guidance on the state’s holistic development. Similarly, on April 21, Patel also met Modi in the capital.
