New Delhi, Oct 22 : Home Minister Amit Shah turned 60 on Tuesday, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several other prominent politicians extending their best wishes on his birthday.
In a message on X, PM Modi praised Shah as a dedicated leader who has made significant contributions to the BJP and the nation’s progress. “He is a hardworking leader who has devoted his life to strengthening the BJP. He has made a mark as an exceptional administrator and is making great efforts to realize the vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat.’ Praying for his long and healthy life,” Modi said.
BJP president J P Nadda also commended Shah’s leadership, highlighting his dedication, hard work, and organizational skills as an inspiration. He noted Shah’s “unforgettable contribution” to the country’s internal security.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh lauded Shah’s pivotal role in both India’s development and the growth of the BJP, calling it “laudable.”
BJP allies, including Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, JD(U) leader Lalan Singh, and Union minister Chirag Paswan of LJP(R), also conveyed their greetings to the home minister.
Born in Gujarat, Amit Shah has been a trusted ally of Prime Minister Modi for nearly four decades. He is widely regarded as a strategic political thinker whose focused approach has been key to implementing the party’s and the government’s major agendas.
Shah has played a central role in the BJP’s meteoric rise since 2014, contributing to several key electoral victories. His astute planning has been particularly noted in instances where the BJP secured unexpected wins, such as the recent Haryana election, defying exit polls that had predicted a Congress victory.
