Even in the posters of Raj Bhavan, the date of the ceremony was mentioned as September 15. According to the information, whatever banners were put up, they were torn down. Earlier on Monday, Bhupendra Patel took oath as the Chief Minister of Gujarat.Gujarat BJP spokesperson Yamal Vyas had said that the ceremony is to be held in Gandhinagar after 2 pm on Wednesday. Neither the BJP nor the state government has given any reason for the postponement. According to the information, there could have been a big change in the cabinet. About 90 percent of the ministers wanted to be replaced by CM Bhupendra Patel. In such a situation, there are only 2-3 faces who will become ministers again.
