PICS: As Modi set to become PM, Anandiben set to become CM

Anandiben Patel set to become next Gujarat chief minister after Modi quits, a profile

Her organisational capabilities took her to the Rajya Sabha in 1994. However, she resigned from the Upper House in 1998 after BJP decided to field her from the Mandal constituency for the state Assembly. She won and went on to become education minister in the Keshubhai Patel government. Since then there has been no looking back for Anandiben and today she is set to become the chief minister of Gujarat. People close to the power corridors in Gujarat say that even if Anandiben Patel becomes the chief minister, the policies framed by Modi will continue. (Text and Pix: APURVA RAI)
