Good to see the CM's busy schedule for New Year greetings, but I hope this isn't just for show. The real test is whether these ministers will deliver on their promises for Gujarat's development in the coming year.

Interesting to see Rivaba Jadeja as Education Minister. While I appreciate her celebrity status, I hope she brings substantial experience to improve our education system. Gujarat's future depends on quality education for all children.

The CM's itinerary shows perfect balance - starting with prayers, then meeting citizens, and finally administrative meetings. This is how leadership should be - grounded in tradition while focusing on governance. Shubh Nutan Varsh to all Gujaratis! 🙏
