Born in 1964 in Mumbai, Amit Shah was involved with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) from his early days. In Gujarat, Amit Shah served as the Home Minister for many years. He is often referred to as the 'Chanakya' of modern day politics for his organisational skills, experience and motivating BJP workers right from the grassroot level. Since his appointment as BJP chief in 2014, Amit Shah has been instrumental in leading the party to electoral victories in many states.
