Earlier, Strong resentment among BJP cadre at ground level against him is one of the main reasons for the removal of Vijay Rupani from the post of Gujarat chief minister, sources told IANS. Rupani on Saturday resigned from the office. A section in the party believes that the decision to replace the chief minister might help the party beat anti-incumbency against the government among its own cadre. While there is no clarity at what exactly led to Rupani's resignation, saffron party sources said that there are many reasons for removal of Rupani and there was strong resentment against him among party cadre. "There was a strong resentment among cadre against Rupani.

His popularity is low among BJP workers. The removal of Rupani will help the party control the dissent at ground well in advance ahead of next year's assembly polls. In other words we can say that the move might help the party beat anti-incumbency against the government and the chief minister among its own cadre," a BJP leader said. It is learnt that while discussing the reasons for Rupani's removal, the party leadership decided keeping workers unhappy will adversely affect the party's electoral performance in the state polls, which is all set to become triangular with the entry of Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party.
