Social engineering skills of BJP national president Amit Shah are an asset for the Saffron party. However, for Narendra Modi this asset of the party is something to be handled with care.
The meteoric rise of Amitbhai Anilchandra “Amit” Shah in the Indian political arena is one phenomenon that is fast changing the BJP’s dynamics. He is from the new crop of BJP leaders and he wants his party to knock the bottom out of the stereotype strategies of the Lotus party.Narendra Modi’s Man Friday Amit Shah came in the limelight after the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. He was credited for making the Lotus bloom in the heartland of Hindi speaking Uttar Pradesh.
We have touched this topic in our earlier edition that Shah’s strategy for Uttar Pradesh veered and gave more importance to Hindu identity and also harvested on anti-incumbency to end the 17 years Lotus drought in the father-son Yadav duo den.
Acknowledged, lauded and worshipped by RSS, VHP, BJP and the likes, Amit Shah is indeed the savior for the Saffron party in Uttar Pradesh and the snappy king-maker. He is still settling into his job. Shortly from now, at this pace of achievement, Amit Shah will be one BJP leader sharing a larger-than-life-persona platform with Narendra Modi.
Amit Shah is the key builder of Modi’s Stairway-to-Heaven. But he is not above the human nature. Like any other human being in him there are human wants and desires. He has calculations and ambitions. He is harbouring all what politicians practice. These reasons confirm that Amitbhai is not going to be someone’s Man-Friday forever. He will also like to have his Saturdays or weekends, holidays and honeymoon.
