 "Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel")
Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel on Tuesday rubbished media reports about her being removed from the post of state chief minister and appointed as the Governor of Punjab.
"There is nothing like that," Patel told reporters
She blamed media for linking her and state Health Minister Nitin Patel's visit to Delhi, suggesting that a change of leadership in Gujarat was on the cards.
"It is only the media who connects two things. I had gone there to discuss water scarcity and Nitin Bhai Patel had come to discuss NEET," she added.
There was a flurry of media reports speculating a possible change of leadership in Gujarat ahead of the 2017 elections.
As per reports, BJP might ask Anandiben Patel to step down as chief minister and projected Nitin Patel as a front-runner for the post, after both of them were in Delhi on Monday.
Anandiben was made Chief Minister in May 2014, after Narendra Modi was elected as Prime Minister.
