A day after the new Cabinet took oath, Chief minister Bhupendra Patel was off to Bihar to campaign in the Wazirganj Assembly seat of Gaya district, for a day. The seat has been held by the BJP’s Birendra Singh since 2020, and was previously a Congress seat.

Patel talked about the “development mode” of the NDA government, appealing to voters to vote in large numbers in the elections to be held in two phases on November 6 and 11.

No posters, please

As soon as he assumed office, Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi made an appeal urging supporters not to spend on putting up congratulatory banners and instead use the money on “helping the needy”. According to a government release, a “well-wisher”, instead of putting up posters, donated to the Surat-based Swami Vivekanand Netra mandir to conduct eye surgeries of 30 persons.
