In a Facebook post in Gujarati on Monday, Patel says: “I turn 75 in November but I would request the leadership to relieve me now to allow more time to the new incumbent.”

Patel said the State government’s ambitious biennial Vibrant Gujarat meet this year-end and the crucial state assembly elections fall next year. She said, “The new Chief Minister will thus have adequate time to prepare for these important events.” (IANS)
