Patel, whose name didn’t feature among the list of probables ahead of the BJP’s announcement, said he was unaware about his own elevation to the top post.
Talking about his mentor Anandiben Patel, the BJP MLA said he is glad to have the blessings of the former chief minister.
Patel said there has been a lot of development work under the aegis of the outgoing Vijay Rupani government and he intends to take that forward.

State BJP president CR Paatil said that Bhupendra Patel would be sworn-in as the chief minister on Monday and his cabinet would be decided after that.
He added that Patel’s work at the grassroot-level, his hold on the cooperative sector, association with party workers and administrative abilities were some of the factors that led to his appointment.
Paatil said the decision on the roles for Vijay Rupani and senior leaders would be taken by the party top brass.
Patel (59), who will replace Vijay Rupani as the chief minister of Gujarat, had contested his maiden Assembly election from Ghatlodia constituency in Ahmedabad in 2017 and won it by a margin of over 1.17 lakh votes, which was a record during that election.
