Anandiben Patel took over as Gujarat's chief minister on Thursday afternoon. She was administered oath by the state's Governor Kamla Beniwal. On stage, was her predecessor Narendra Modi, who will be the country's next prime minister.

The entire BJP top line of leaders like party president Rajnath Singh, LK Advani, MM Joshi and Arun Jaitley were also present as the 72-year-old Anandiben took oath at a packed Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar.

She is Gujarat's first woman chief minister.

Yesterday, after Mr Modi resigned as chief minister, a position he had held for 13 years, his party's legislators elected Ms Patel to be their leader. Mr Modi's close aide Amit Shah, who does not share the warmest vibes with Ms Patel, was among those who endorsed her name for the chief minister's post.
