The Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday announced Amit Shah as the new party President. The announcement was made by the party's Parliamentary Board which met on Wednesday to nominate Shah. The crowning of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's closest confidant Amit Shah as the new BJP president capped a phenomenal and rapid rise for the party's key election strategist who crafted an unprecedented victory in Uttar Pradesh.

In the process, the controversial yet politically suave Shah, 50, scripted history by becoming the youngest president of the party in which veterans have called the shots since its inception.

Home minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday announced that he was stepping down as the BJP president and declared Shah as his successor.

Addressing a news conference, Rajnath Singh lauded Amit Shah's "management skills" and credited him with the BJP's success in Lok Sabha election in Uttar Pradesh.
