Life

Early life

Suresh Mehta was born on 5 August 1936 at Mandvi, Cutch State (now in Kutch, Gujarat, India).

Political career

He was a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Keshubhai Patel led the BJP to win in the 1995 assembly election and became the chief minister in March 1995. He served as the cabinet minister under Keshubhai Patel.

Patel resigned in October 1995 as their colleague Shankersinh Vaghela revolted against Keshubhai Patel. Consequently, Mehta was sworn in as the Chief Minister in October 1995 and he served till September 1996.

But the BJP was split as the Rashtriya Janata Party was formed by Vaghela. He resigned and the President's rule was imposed. He again served as the industry cabinet minister under Patel when the BJP returned to the power in the 1998 assembly elections.

Patel resigned in 2001 following allegations of mismanagement in relief works during the aftermath of the 2001 Bhuj earthquake and a loss of BJP seats in by-elections. Narendra Modi succeeded Patel under whom Mehta had reservations to serve as the cabinet minister but he served until 2002.^[1]

He opposed leadership of Narendra Modi and quit BJP on 8 December 2007, just before the Gujarat legislative assembly election, 2007.^[2] Later he joined Gujarat Parivartan Party (GPP) founded by the former chief minister Keshubhai Patel in 2012.^[3] He opposed decision when the GPP merged with the BJP again in February, 2014 and left the party.^[4]^[5]
