"He is the most capable person and a good strategist. He has organisational ability. Under his leadership, we have recorded notable victory. And I am confident in coming years the party will march forward," Union Urban Development and Parliamentary Affairs Minister M Venkaiah Naidu said.
Shah was unanimously elected the party president for a second term today.
"He has commitment to our ideology and he is always on the move taking the message of the party to the nook and corner of the country," he said.
Home Minister Rajnath Singh expressed confidence that the party will perform "tremendously" under Shah's leadership.
"Only one nomination and that was of Amit Shah. I believe the reason behind it was the unanimous decision of the party members. I congratulate him and I have full faith that the party will perform tremendously under his leadership," Singh said.
Hailing Shah, Union Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, said, "He is a very strong organiser and has worked tirelessly for the social expansion of the party.
