Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and cabinet minister Fauja Singh Sarai tendered his resignation from the post of the minister on Saturday.
As per the sources, Fauja Singh Sarai tendered his resignation citing personal reasons, saying that he is a loyal soldier of the party and will remain so.
The oath for the new minister is likely to be administered in a simple program at Raj Bhavan before 5pm today.
As per the source, a major reshuffle is likely to take place in the Punjab cabinet and new faces may get a chance.
Interestingly earlier in this month, AAP appointed the six working presidents and the replacement of Gopal Italia with Isudan Gadhvi as the state chief, the Aam Aadmi Party’s overhaul of its unit in Gujarat is seen as an element of its efforts to get ready for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
The changes come a month after the Gujarat Assembly elections, in which the party won only five seats, far less than expected given the AAP’s noise, but commendable because the party received enough votes to qualify as a national party.
According to AAP insiders, one of the clear messages of the reshuffle is that Gadhvi now has complete control over the party organisation in the state. He was chosen as the party’s chief minister face for the recent Assembly elections despite having no organisational experience, which the party appears to be attempting to rectify now.
The most interesting choice among the six working presidents for the state’s six zones — Alpesh Kathiria for Surat, Chaitar Vasava for South Gujarat, Ramesh Patel for North Gujarat, Jagmal Vala for Saurashtra, Jewel Vasra for Central Gujarat, and Kailash Gadhvi for Kutch — is tribal leader Vasava. With tribals reposing their faith in the AAP in the Assembly elections, the party is clearly trying to keep them in its corner.
