August 9 this year marked the end of Vajpayee-Advani era and the beginning of a generational change in the BJP. The two had dominated the party for decades seeing highs and lows. The Modi-Amit Shah duo is in complete control after the party’s National council endorsed Amit Shah’s appointment as the BJP President. Shah, at 49 is the youngest of the BJP chiefs and has emerged from backroom boy to a front ranking leader. Modi is now in complete control of both the party and the government as Amit Shah is his chosen general. The Modi- Shah relationship goes as far back as 1985 when Modi first met him at an RSS camp and took a liking for him.
