Chargesheeted Gujarat minister for Home Shri Amit Shah has resigned from his post.

Shah has submitted his resignation to the Chief Minister of the state.

The resignation has been accepted by the Chief Minister and will be sent to the Governor of the state for further formality.

The decision was announced by Modi early on Saturday morning.

Addressing the mediapersons in New Delhi, the Gujarat Chief Minister said Shah has “sent his resignation me”.

“Today, when I landed at the Delhi airport in the morning, I got a call that Amit Shah has sent in his resignation papers to my bungalow. I will go back and complete all the necessary formalities. I accept his resignation but all the Constitutional formalities will be completed when I go back home,” Modi said.

It is widely accepted tradition that all political parties in India practice, that if some minister’s name is mentioned in chargesheet he has to resign from his ministerial post.
