The last rites of former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani were performed with full state honours today. The atmosphere at the cremation ground in Rajkot was filled with deep emotion as his family, including his wife Anjali Rupani and close relatives, bid him a tearful farewell. Supporters, admirers, and senior BJP leaders gathered to pay their last respects to the veteran leader, who served as Gujarat’s 16th Chief Minister from 2016 to 2021. Rupani, a veteran leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and former Chief Minister of Gujarat, died in a tragic Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crash in Ahmedabad. The devastating accident, involving Air India flight AI-171, claimed several lives and left many injured, including students from the BJ Medical College hostel near the crash site.
