Amit Shah is the Union home minister of the current government. A close associate of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah was the party president before JP Nadda. Born on October 22 in 1964, Amit Shah's entry into politics was through ABVP, the student wing of the RSS, in Gujarat. In 1987, Amit Shah joined the BJP and was first elected to Gujarat Assembly in 1997. In Narendra Modi's cabinet in Gujarat, Amit Shah held multiple portfolios. In 2002, he was the youngest minister in the Modi cabinet. Amit Shah played a major organisational role in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Amit Shah said he is a product of ABVP himself and that the organisation has neither lost its vision nor did it allow the governments to lose their way.
Shah alleged that historically, the Congress has opposed the welfare of the backward classes and has only resorted to lip-service for such communities.
