Gandhinagar, Dec 26 (IBNS): Vijay Rupani was  sworn in as the Gujarat Chief Minister for a second term  at a glittering programme in Gandhinagar on Tuesday morning.

According to reports, almost all senior BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, party veteran  LK Advani, senior ministers of the Union council and  Chief Ministers from 18 BJP-ruled states are attending Rupani's swearing-in ceremony.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is also attending the event.

Rupani and his deputy Nitin Patel were administered the oath of office and secrecy by Gujarat Governor Om Prakash Kohli.

As the BJP came back to power with a reduced strength, having lost more than two dozen MLAs, including six ministers, the new cabinet is expected to see some new faces.
