When asked whether he is ready to succeed Narendra Modi as Chief Minister of Gujarat, state cabinet’s number 2 minister(after Narendra Modi) and Gujarat government’s spokesperson Nitin Patel said if party assigns him responsibility, he is ready for that.

Nitin Patel is MLA from north Gujarat’s district headquarters Mehsana. He is Finance Minister at present. He is party’s incharge of Mehsana seat where BJP repeated relatively weak woman candidate Jayshriben Patel.

Speaking to media persons, media friendly Nitin Patel further said, “if you ask any MLA whether he is ready to become Chief Minister, he will reply positively. If you ask Virat Kohli whether he would like to become Indian cricket team’s captain, he would definately not say no.”

It should be mentioned that popular names as Modi’s successor being discussed in media are Anandiben Patel, Saurabh Patel, Parshottam Rupala and Nitin Patel.
