The power corridors of Gujarat buzzed on Friday evening, particularly through social media, regarding a ‘heated exchange of words’ between chief minister Vijay Rupani and Deputy CM Nitin Patel following the cabinet meeting. Sources said Patel was unhappy with the CM’s decision to make announcement for flood relief package without taking him into confidence. Sources said, “Argument started between CM and Deputy CM once the bureaucrats left the room following the cabinet committee meeting. The deputy CM also said this was not the first time he was ignored by the CM. Patel was one of the frontrunners in the CM race but had to be content with the deputy CM post.
