Amit Shah is an Indian politician and a key strategist of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He has served as India’s Minister of Home Affairs since 2019, making him a three-time Home Minister, and has been the country’s first Minister of Cooperation since 2021. Previously, he was the BJP President from 2014 to 2020, playing a crucial role in the party’s electoral successes.
A close aide of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Shah’s political career began with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its student wing, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP). Shah joine the RSS in1982 and the BJP in 1987 and rose up to become a key figure in Gujarat politics. After the 2002 Gujarat assembly elections, he became the youngest minister in then Chief Minister Modi’s cabinet, holding 12 portfolios, including the Ministry of Home. Shah represented the Gujarat Legislative Assembly from Sarkhej (1997–2012) and Naranpura (2012–2017).
In 2017, he was elected to the Rajya Sabha from Gujarat, and in 2019, he was elected to the Lok Sabha from Gandhinagar. He took oath as a Lok Sabha member in June 2024.
Shah has been embroiled in several controversies, including accusations of involvement in extrajudicial killings during his tenure as Gujarat’s Home Minister and his alleged role in illegal surveillance. His handling of the inter-tribe conflict in Manipur, which began in 2023, has attracted criticism, with many questioning the government’s response to the escalating violence and the security situation in the region.
My biggest worry is the advent of uneducated people in the field of journalism who extract lines, which suit their purpose, from a story and start beating it with the hope that if beaten regularly the story would be forgotten. The author of the article cannot differentiate between the “family business” Congress party and a second generation entry
All indian parties showing their dynasty politics including BJP.
see my article on below link.
India needs to come out from DRUTRASHTRA SYNDROME
BJP is truly democratic (note I am not BJP supporter and I do not know much about CPM) in party function. Real power in congress is always with Gandhi-Nehru family. Modi is the best example of transfer of power, also Modi do not have family to transfer power.
That’s not the point. The point is can an ordinary congress worker become the party president. Like in bjp or even the left.
Spot on!!!
Congratulations to bring out this early trend – Continie this attack relentlessly – that is the only way -as such trend keep emerging all the time in all the ages – media doing great job here
Including Yogi In the list is Plain NonSense. The article should also discuss are these people from the BJP automatic choices to become the PM of the Country . Have they come through the grind or have they got tickets as their Birth right ?…The article should also have discussed Rahul BABAS right to become the PM WHEN congress comes to power and Sonia Gandhis days as Super Prime Minister of India.
absolutely!!!! Spot on !!!
Good comparison. BJPs 1st term and not much difference with Congress legacy of 67 years. Difference of 20 in LS, and nil in RS is surprising no’s. Why not have Monarchy rule in India, while Democracy is become obselete, now.
But the biggest dynasty in Indian politics would be the Badal family. Its members have been in government at both the centre and the state.
But the party that is apparently dead against dynasty has been and continues to support this dynasty. So the party is actually supporting what its president says is “not India’s culture”.
