Home Minister Amit Shah turned 60 today, marking a significant personal milestone in a career that has shaped the course of Indian politics over the past three decades. A key strategist behind the rise of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Shah's influence as the party's former president and his current role in the cabinet has been pivotal in steering many of its landmark policies.
Known for his meticulous planning and sharp political acumen, Shah has been instrumental in implementing key initiatives such as the abrogation of Article 370, the Citizenship Amendment Act, and strengthening national security measures. His tenure as Home Minister has seen a focus on law and order, with major pushes for internal security and counter-terrorism efforts.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, his long-time ally, led a wave of wishes from political leaders across party lines. “Amit Bhai has been a relentless worker for the nation, his vision for India has only grown with time. I wish him health and success in the years to come,” Modi said.
As Shah steps into his 60s, he continues to be a towering figure in Indian politics, with his sights set on ensuring a strong BJP presence in upcoming elections. Reflecting on his journey, Shah expressed gratitude to his supporters and party colleagues, reaffirming his commitment to the nation’s development and security.
Public celebrations were held across various BJP strongholds, with party workers organizing welfare activities to mark the occasion. Despite his high-profile career, Amit Shah remains rooted in his early vision—strengthening the party at the grassroots and empowering the country’s governance system.
