Dharamsala: Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel on Monday called upon the Bharatiya Janata Party leadership to "relieve" her from her present responsibilities in keeping with the "party`s laudable tradition" of leaders who turn 75 vacating their posts.
Reacting to the news, Kejriwal, who is in Dharamsala to attend a 10-day vipassana session at a meditation centre, said Aam Aadmi Party's increasing popularity is the reason behind Patel's resignation.

Under the leadership of Patel, who has been a minister in the BJP government since 1998 and CM from 2014, the BJP for the first time in the post-Narendra Modi era in Gujarat is facing a tough challenge from its opponents.
