Update: On being assured that he would be given the portfolio he wants, Gujarat DY CM Nitin Patel has assumed office.

Is #Gujarat politics heading for a new turn – Dy CM @Nitinbhai_Patel reportedly miffed over portfolio distribution is said to be ready to leave BJP with 10 MLAs and join Congress? Gives 3-day deadline.

Patel is said to have given a 3 day deadline. On the other hand it is also learnt that Hardik Patel has said that if he is not respected by BJP then he should leave BJP. Hardik Patel has also invited Nitin Patel to join him if BJP does not respect him. 

There are also reports that Nitin Patel might join Congress But there seems to be very little or no possibility that Nitin Patel would join Congress as he is a staunch BJP member and any possibility of defection is just fiction and seems nothing else. Nitin Patel is said to have been dissatisfied that Finance and Urban Development portfolio were taken away from him.
