Summary : Amit Shah will take oath as a Cabinet minister again after winning the Gandhinagar seat by a margin of 7,44,716 votes in the recent Lok Sabha elections. Shah, a close ally of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has been a key figure in the BJP and served as the Union Home Minister in the previous government. His notable achievements include the abrogation of Article 370 and the passage of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act. Shah’s deep connection with Gandhinagar and his strategic insights make him a valuable asset for the Modi government.
In a significant political development, Amit Shah is set to take oath as a Cabinet minister once more, following his impressive victory in the recent Lok Sabha elections. Shah, who secured a landslide win from Gujarat’s Gandhinagar constituency by a margin of 7,44,716 votes, will be a key figure in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s third consecutive term.
Amit Shah’s political journey is a testament to his remarkable organisational skills and strategic acumen. Born on October 22, 1964, in Mansa, Gujarat, Shah’s rise from modest beginnings to becoming one of India’s most influential politicians is a story of determination and hard work. His political career began in the early 1980s when he joined the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) student wing, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), during his Biochemistry studies.
Shah’s potential became evident when he was appointed BJP’s national president in 2014, a role he held until 2020. Under his leadership, the BJP saw an unprecedented surge in popularity, achieving resounding victories in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
As the Union Home Minister in the previous Modi government, Shah spearheaded several pivotal initiatives. Among his notable achievements was the abrogation of Article 370, which integrated Jammu and Kashmir more closely with the rest of India. He also played a key role in the passage of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, aimed at granting citizenship to persecuted minorities from neighboring countries such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. Additionally, Shah oversaw the implementation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam, addressing long-standing concerns about illegal immigration. Under his leadership, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) took stringent measures to counter terrorism.
Shah’s deep connection with Gandhinagar has been a significant aspect of his political career. He has been associated with this constituency for over three decades, initially as a member of the legislative assembly from segments within the parliamentary constituency. Previously held by BJP stalwarts like L.K. Advani and Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the Gandhinagar seat holds a prestigious place in BJP’s history. In the last five years as an MP, Shah facilitated development works worth over ₹22,000 crore in the constituency.
As Amit Shah takes the oath as a Cabinet minister today, his organisational prowess, strategic insights, and close working relationship with Modi are expected to be valuable assets in the government’s decision-making processes and execution of initiatives. His role will be crucial in shaping the nation’s policies and driving forward the Modi-led government’s development agenda.
