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.

Patel will turn 75 in November this year.
