A brief introduction of some top cabinet ministers – Prime Minister Narendra Modi
Known for his political acumen and strategic skills, senior BJP leader Amit Shah has played a key role in the saffron party’s unprecedented growth, helping it cross the 300-seat mark in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Known as the second most influential person in the country after Prime Minister Narendra Singh Modi and a person devoted to the saffron ideology, the 59-year-old Shah emerged as the efficient organiser of the BJP, when as the party’s general secretary, the alliance won 73 seats in the 2014 Uttar Pradesh polls.
Amit Shah, who is compared to the modern-day Charankshaya, created history in 2014 by becoming the youngest president of the Bharatiya Janata Party at the age of 49 and later took over as one of the youngest Union Home Ministers in 2019 at the age of 54.
Born in 1964 in a reputed Gujarati family in Mumbai, Amit Shah’s political journey began at the age of 16, when he joined the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in 1980. And soon after that, he got involved in the activities of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP).
Displaying unwavering commitment to party principles, exceptional organisational skills and eloquence, Amit Shah rose rapidly and within two years became the joint secretary of the Gujarat unit of ABVP.
A grassroots strategist and political leader par excellence, Rajnath Singh is credited with expanding the BJP’s organisational network in the Hindi heartland state of Uttar Pradesh in the 1990s and the decades that followed. Hailing from the politically important Chandauli district of the state, Singh is known as a liberal face and is widely respected by leaders across party lines.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi – Singh, who for a long time was considered a disciple of senior BJP leader Atal Bihari Vajpayee, began his political career as a student activist of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad and became the National President of the BJP in 2005.
