Shah was the BJP's in-charge for India's largest and politically most crucial state, Uttar Pradesh, during the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. The BJP and its allies won 73 out of 80 seats. As a result, Shah rose to national prominence and was appointed as the party's national president in July 2014.

A year later, the BJP won 303 seats to get a majority in the 2019 Indian general election under Shah's leadership.  On 2 August 2020 he was tested positive for coronavirus, confirmed by the home minister himself via a tweet
Shah was born in Mumbai on 22 October 1964.  He came from a Gujarati Hindu Vaishnava family, who were Baniyas.  His great grandfather was the Nagarseth of the small state of Mansa.  His father, Anil Chandra Shah, a businessman from Mansa, owned a successful PVC pipe business.

Shah was involved with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) since childhood; he participated in the neighbourhood shakhas (branches) as a boy. He formally became an RSS swayamsevak (volunteer) during his college days in Ahmedabad.  He first met Narendra Modi in 1982 through the Ahmedabad RSS circles.  At that time, Modi was an RSS pracharak (propagator), working as in-charge of youth activities in the city.

Eddie Howe

Edward John Frank Howe (/haʊ/; born 29 November 1977) is an English professional football manager and former player. He was most recently the manager of Bournemouth.

A defender before retirement who spent much of his career at Bournemouth, he was the youngest manager in the Football League when appointed Bournemouth manager in January 2009.  Howe rescued Bournemouth from relegation out of the Football League in his first season in charge, after the club started the season on minus 17 points, then led them to promotion the next. After a brief spell as manager at Burnley, Howe returned to Bournemouth and led them to two further promotions in three seasons resulting in the club playing in the top flight of English football for the first time in their history. In August 2020, Howe resigned as Bournemouth manager following their relegation into the Championship.

Howe's successes with Bournemouth resulted in him being given the inaugural Football League Manager of the Decade Award in 2015  The departure of Arsène Wenger from Arsenal in 2018 made Howe the longest-serving active manager in the Premier League until Bournemouth's relegation and Howe's departure in 2020. 
Howe was born in Amersham, Buckinghamshire.  When very young, he moved to Verwood in Dorset, and later began his footballing career with local youth teams Rossgarth   and Parley Sports   before starting his professional career at AFC Bournemouth.  He made his first-team debut in December 1995 against Hull City. Howe established himself as an important player in Bournemouth's defence and in 1998 he was selected for the England Under-21 team in the Toulon Tournament. 

In March 2002, Portsmouth signed Howe for £400,000, making him new manager Harry Redknapp's first signing. Shortly after signing, a knee injury on his debut against Preston North End  ended his season.

He returned for the opening game of the 2002–03 season against Nottingham Forest, but he injured his knee again after only nine minutes  and was ruled out for the entire campaign. He did not return to full fitness until January 2004 after 18 months out. He was loaned to Swindon Town on transfer deadline day in March, although he did not feature for the club.

Portsmouth loaned Howe back to Bournemouth for the first three months of the 2004–05. He proved to be successful on his return to his first club after two injury-ravaged seasons with Portsmouth. With the club in a very poor financial state, supporters joined together to create "Eddieshare" to fund a transfer fee. Within days of creation, £21,000 was raised funding the required permanent transfer fee.  After a further three seasons and over 270 appearances, injuries forced his retirement as a player in 2007 and he then moved into coaching with the reserve squad.
