PM Modi pays tribute to Vijay Rupani, ex-Gujarat CM
Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the family of Vijay Rupani, former Gujarat Chief Minister, after Rupani tragically died in an Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad. The flight, headed for London with 242 people on board, crashed shortly after takeoff. Modi shared his condolences and reflected on his long friendship with Rupani and his commitment to public service.
TL;DR
Rupani's legacy as BJP leader
Modi highlighted how much Rupani contributed to Gujarat's growth during his time as Chief Minister (2016-2021), promising support to his family. As a key BJP leader, Rupani leaves behind a strong political legacy—and is survived by his wife and two children. His passing marks the second time a former Gujarat Chief Minister has lost their life in an aviation accident.
