New Faces, New Equations: Harsh Sanghavi Now Deputy CM As Gujarat Cabinet Hits Refresh
The Bhupendra Patel-led Gujarat government on Friday expanded its cabinet by inducting 19 new ministers, featuring a mix of seasoned politicians, technocrats, educators, social workers, and grassroots leaders, ensuring a broad regional and community balance. The new team includes five Cabinet Ministers, two Ministers of State with independent charge, and twelve Ministers of State.
This is the first major expansion since the government came to power in 2022 with a massive mandate of 156 seats out of 181. Later, six more MLAs joined the BJP, raising the total to 162 out of 182.
In the reshuffle, nine out of 16 ministers in the Bhupendra government have been dropped, while six have been retained.
The highlight of the shuffle is the appointment of Harsh Sanghavi as the state's Deputy Chief Minister. Sanghavi, who was previously the youngest Home Minister of the state, now becomes the youngest Deputy Chief Minister at 40.
Harsh Sanghavi first entered the Gujarat Assembly in 2012 from the Majura constituency in Surat and belongs to the influential Jain community. After defeating the Aam Aadmi Party candidate in 2017, he was inducted into the state cabinet, marking a steady rise in his political career.
Sanghavi is known for his close rapport with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and has worked closely with former chief ministers Anandiben Patel and Vijay Rupani. He enjoys the confidence of senior BJP leaders, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Union Minister CR Patil.
In the Gujarat government, Sanghavi has handled several key portfolios, including Minister of State for Home, Sports, and Revenue. He also chairs the state's bidding committee for the 2036 Olympics, reflecting the leadership's trust in his administrative abilities and his connect with youth-oriented initiatives.
Sanghavi's political journey began with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), but he soon found his footing within the BJP, rising through the ranks of the party's Yuva Morcha. His prominence within the organisation and governance makes him a natural fit for the Prime Minister's vision of promoting young, dynamic leaders who embody the BJP's development narrative in Gujarat, a state the party has governed for three decades.
