Gujarat BJP chief Jitu Vaghani confirmed on Thursday that BJP president Amit Shah has been inducted in the new Cabinet of Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi.

In a tweet posted just hours before a meeting of top leaders from the party and allies at the PM’s home office in New Delhi, Vaghani congratulated Amit Shah on his “inclusion” in the new government.

“I met and congratulated our torchbearer honourable Amit Shah-ji on his inclusion as a strong member in the Cabinet of Prime Minister Narendra Modi-ji,” Vaghani said in a tweet.

Speculation has been rife about Shah being part of the new government. Media reports indicate that the BJP chief might get either the Home or the Finance portfolio.

Shah becoming part of the Modi government would mean that the BJP will have to look for new party chief.
