Types of Ministers
The Gujarat Council of Ministers follows the westminster's model of cabinet.
There are two type of ministers.
1. Cabinet Ministers.
2. Ministers of State.
1.Cabinet Ministers
• Actual power of decisions vests with cabinet ministers. The cabinet is
chaired by the Chief Minister.
2.Ministers of State
• They are also known as Deputy Ministers. They are appointed to assist
cabinet ministers. However, many times, they are given independent charge
of their department. In that case, they enjoy a latitude for decision making
similar to a cabinet minister, with respect to those decisions under the aegis
of their respective departments. However, Ministers of State do not
participate in cabinet meetings.
