New Delhi, Aug 1 (IBNS): The Congress on Monday attacked Anandiben Patel over her resignation as Gujarat Chief Minister and said it showed that her Bharatiya Janata Party will be defeated in the upcoming Assembly polls in the state next year.

Congress leader Ahmed Patel tweeted: "The Gujarat Chief Minister's resignation is an indication of BJP's sure defeat in 2017 elections."

Just a year before the state will elect a new Assembly, Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel on Monday
resigned from her post.

She was serving the state since Prime Minister Narendra Modi resigned as the Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2014.

Modi became the PM of the country following his BJP's landslide  victory in the Lok Sabha polls in 2014. The Congress government at the Centre was completely uprooted from power after ruled the nation for 10 years.

Patel will turn 75 in November this year.
