Gandhinagar, Aug 3 (IBNS): Ending her two-year stint as the Chief Minister of Gujarat, Anandiben Patel submitted her resignation to Governor O P Kohli on Wednesday.

Her successor will be named soon.

The BJP Parliamentary Board on Wednesday accepted Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel's resignation.

Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu told reporters: "Gujarat CM Anandiben Patel's resignation has been accepted."

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.
