Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani on Saturday resigned from the post, over a year before the state goes to polls.
Elections are scheduled in December 2022 to elect 182 members of the Gujarat Assembly.
Rupani (65) was sworn in as chief minister - his second stint as CM - in December 2017.
"I have resigned as chief minister of Gujarat," Rupani told reporters after meeting Governor Acharya Devvrat and submitting his resignation letter.
