While the nation was abuzz with discussions around the Bihar elections, political turmoil in Gujarat stole the spotlight. After weeks of internal upheaval, 25 newly appointed ministers finally took oath in Gujarat, marking a major cabinet reshuffle in the state.
AAP Leader Anurag Dhanda Takes a Dig at BJP After Cabinet Reshuffle
Reacting sharply to the development, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Anurag Dhanda took a jibe at the BJP, crediting the reshuffle to AAP’s growing influence in the state. In a post on X, Dhanda wrote,
“For the first time, the people of Gujarat have seen a real opposition in the form of the Aam Aadmi Party. And for the very first time, the BJP government in Gujarat has been shaken — all ministers had to be replaced.”

Dhanda’s remark comes in the backdrop of the 2024 Gujarat Assembly elections, where AAP emerged as a formidable force, securing a significant vote share. His statement underlined that the cabinet reshuffle reflects BJP’s fear of AAP’s strengthening presence in the state’s political landscape.
AAP’s Tough Stand on Farmers’ Issues
Amid the political reshuffle, AAP leaders, including party convener Arvind Kejriwal and Anurag Dhanda, have taken a strong stand on issues concerning farmers in Gujarat. Both leaders condemned the arrest of AAP members Praveen Ram and Raju Karpada by Gujarat Police, calling it an “oppressive move” by the Bhupendra Patel government.
Following Kejriwal’s footsteps, Dhanda has been working actively to strengthen AAP’s base in Gujarat. His recent statements suggest that the party plans to continue voicing concerns over farmers’ rights and government accountability.
According to Dhanda, the cabinet reshuffle is a clear indication that the BJP feels threatened by AAP’s growing acceptance among the people of Gujarat — a sign that the political equation in the state is beginning to shift.
