Gujarat Government

Gujarat’s reservoirs gained 603 million cubic metres of water following rainfall over 48 hours, providing some relief to the state’s water situation. However, overall storage remained below last year’s level, keeping water management and reservoir levels in focus.

The Gujarat government has said a decision on declaring drought in affected areas will be taken only after a detailed survey at the end of the Kharif season. The opposition has demanded immediate action, citing rainfall shortages in several districts and concerns among farmers.

Gujarat politics has entered a fresh phase of confrontation after Congress MLAs protested over the Bhavnagar hooch tragedy and demanded accountability from the state government.

Congress MLAs protested outside the Gujarat Assembly demanding the resignation of the state Home Minister following the Bhavnagar hooch tragedy, putting the BJP-led government under renewed political pressure.

Gujarat continues to remain a major political and economic centre as the government focuses on infrastructure, investment, industrial growth and welfare, while opposition parties work to strengthen their political presence.
