Earlier in the day, reporters visited the residence of Deputy Chief Minister Nitin Patel and paid a courtesy call on him. He was directly asked by journalists why he was not appointed to the post after Vijaybhai Rupani resigned. I also heard that you are upset about this. ' Answering that question, he said that he did not get the post of Chief Minister so he was not upset at all. I have no regrets. But there were tears in their eyes. He was telling them what was on their minds. "I have been a MLA six times and I will continue to be a MLA as long as there is a place in people's minds," he said. I have been working for the party since I was 16 years old and I will continue to do so. I don't want a position.

They said that any saint or brand is valid as long as it is accepted by the people. One can only grow by winning the trust of the people. No one can grow up by being by someone's side.
