BJP reelected Amit Shah as President of the party and the news gave a full stop to many rumors and gossips ! The election of Amit Shah was unanimous and therefore, media's wild expectations about any crispy internal clash in BJP were proven as just imaginations ! Being a Politics-Lover and Analyst also, I thought about the causes and logic behind Shah's reelection. I found following points which I am sharing with readers...
1) Comfortable Man for Modi
Amit Shah's friendship and bonding with Narendra Modi are popular. The Prime Minister views Amit Shah as one of the most trustworthy person of his party and Shah has tried his best to maintain this confidence of Modi. Having Amit Shah as as head of party, Modi will find his tasks smoother in future also. Because having his best friend and soul mate on the top-command of the party will save NaMo from any inter-party feuds or rebellion.
2) His 'Chanakya'-like Image
Amit Shah is a perfect Political tactician and strategist. Even the critics of him can never deny his capabilities such as political understanding, organisational skills, cadre-connectivity, work culture and mission-driven lifestyle. He is called 'Chanakya' for these capabilities and Shah has seldom failed in proving the title right and fit for himself ! BJP is in a unique position today, where the president of BJP will have to deal with many complex challenges like concentrating opposition, annoying allies as well as keeping up with the increased pace of growth of party itself. And for all these, Amit Shah is perfect fit, His age is also a Plus Point for him which enables him to connect with the youth and work with tremendous energy.
3) Trust of RSS and Parivaar
In previous times, RSS has sometimes experienced discomfort with BJP leadership; which had caused lack of conviction in the minds of non-political members of the Sangh Parivaar. But Amit Shah has a personality and a 'Past' especially, which are enough significant for ensuring the loyalty towards core principles like 'Hindutva' ! Thus RSS finds it easy to have control on their Political Wing (And there is nothing wrong nor abnormal in this !); when the President of party is comfortable for them. RSS has hardcore confidence in Modi and Shah about their loyalty towards core principles and this matters a lot !
4) No Significant Competition
This point is also important. Most of the 'Big Fishes' of BJP are in the Modi Cabinet. And they are finding themselves busy and at the same time happy there ! Nitin Gadkari, Rajnath Singh as well as Sushma Swaraj are not ambitious for being President of the party at the cost of their current ministries. They all have significant ministries to perform. So, Shah got their support instead of any competition from them for his President-Election.
5) Morale of Party Workers
This is the most practical and Ground Zero-connected point. If BJP would have removed changed the President, the ultimate effect would be serious loss of the Sky-High morale of party-workers (Which is effect of Modi Magic, indeed !)... Delhi and Bihar failures have worse effect on the party workers' Spirit and Morale. In such situations, changing Shah (holding him as responsible for the defeats) would be a blunder by the party. Thus, the think tank as well as the Top Authorities of party may have considered this and have taken the 'politically wise' decision to extend the term of Amit Shah for next three years.
After all, Amit Shah, now has the full tenure of three years as the President of the Ruling Party of India. Thus, he has enough powers delegated to himself to face the challenges before himself and his party. But one thing is sure ! In the upcoming bewildering scenario of Indian Politics, the 'Moves' of Amit Shah will deserve the attention of analyst and the national focus !
