Overview

  • JP Nadda, BL Santosh and Bhupender Yadav met on August 2 in Delhi and reached a consensus to endorse a sole contender for Gujarat state party president.
  • The party will begin an effectively uncontested nomination process imminently at its Kamalam headquarters under Bhupender Yadav’s oversight.
  • The expedited appointment is intended to break a stalemate that has delayed Gujarat’s cabinet expansion for several months.
  • CR Patil, who has also served as Jal Shakti minister since 2024, is expected to relinquish the party post following his interim tenure.
  • Potential candidates hail from Saurashtra and North Gujarat, with an emphasis on OBC representation or a younger leader to recalibrate the state unit ahead of upcoming elections.
