New Delhi : BJP president Amit Shah is set to start a new term from Sunday, when he is tipped to be elected unopposed to the top party post.
His current term ends on Saturday and the new term will be his first full-term lasting three years. Shah’s election is virtually a formality, party sources said.
Seen as a close confidante of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Shah was put at the helm midway during his predecessor Rajnath Singh’s tenure after Singh joined the government in May 2014. Almost all BJP chief ministers, besides a number of union ministers, are likely to be in attendance on Sunday when Shah files his nomination papers and is expected to declared as the party chief, reports PTI. Modi is hosting a dinner for Shah and his team, tonight.
