As the BJP gears up for a record-breaking victory in Gujarat Assembly polls, Bhupendra Patel is poised to take the oath as Gujarat CM on December 12 at 2 pm.
The saffron party, which has widened its lead to 158 seats in the Gujarat Assembly elections, is expected to conduct the oath taking ceremony in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.
Bhupendra Patel said that the party has humbly accepted the mandate of the people. He said that people had made up their minds to continue with the journey of development in Gujarat.
Since 1995, BJP has not lost any election in the state. The party has never won an election with such a huge mandate, despite the fact that it has been in power for the last 27 years.
The state polls were held in two phases, with polling for the first phase in 89 seats held on December 1, and for the remaining 93 seats on December 5.
