Amit Shah works day in and day out to ensure victory for BJP

The BJP national president visiting Mumbai practically every alternate day and holding detailed review of poll management

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Amit Shah did not address many Assembly election rallies in Maharashtra. Instead he focused on implementing the party's poll strategy in the past 40 days.

He visited Mumbai on alternate days for meetings with workers.

Shah’s key team members were party general secretaries Om Prakash Mathur, Rajiv Pratap Rudy and Sunil Bansal, who had handled the BJP's campaign in Uttar Pradesh. Rudy, in Mumbai for the last 40 days and involved in the organisation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 27 rallies across Maharashtra, told Business Standard: "Shah's organisational skills are unparalleled. His review meetings used to start in the midnight and go to 4 am even after addressing poll rallies and his scheduled programmes. After that we all used to be on the job from 9.30 am. He had booth-wise information and guided state and district leaders to be proactive.'' According to him, Shah was involved in detailed poll preparations in Maharashtra and Haryana. ''On Monday, the prime minister was to address five meetings in the state. But in the morning he had his contingency plan ready as cyclone Hudhud had hit Odisha,'' Rudy said.

Rudy said the party is quite confident to get a majority and form the government in the state.
