Who is Amit Shah?
Amitbhai Anilchandra "Amit" Shah is an Indian politician, who is a general secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party. He was Minister of State for Home Affairs in the Gujarat government under Chief Minister Narendra Modi, but had to resign in 2010 after he was arrested on charges of having ordered a series of encounter killings by the State Police.
Shah is considered to be a confidant of Modi. Currently on judicial bail, the Supreme Court has directed that he may not enter his home state of Gujarat where he may influence the investigations of the encounter killings. In the interim, the BJP has appointed Shah as their campaign manager for Uttar Pradesh for the ongoing general elections.
