“Both Nitinbhai and Vijaybhai are working with full force for the development of Gujarat, and the upcoming election will also be contested under their leadership,” he said in response to a question about the speculation over change in leadership in the government.
The state BJP chief was speaking after the flag hoisting programme held at the party headquarters Kamalam in Gandhinagar on the occasion of the 75th Independence Day.
He made the statement a few days after Rupani celebrated his five years in office as the chief minister.
