“Hard work, sacrifice and strong nationalism define the character of Amit Shah. He comes with great capacity to personally travel to places, study and take decisions based on his experiences," said Fadnavis. “It was Shah who studied Uttar Pradesh in detail and eventually, we (the BJP) won 73 (along with allies) out of the 80 Lok Sabha seats (in 2014 general elections),” he said.
