Will party president Amit Shah make it to the Narendra Modi cabinet or will he continue as party chief? Speculation on the role of BJP's all-important person is rife in political circles.

On Thursday, Shah's leadership took the BJP to another high when it performed far better than it did in 2014. With yet another feather in his cap, albeit a giant one this time, people in the BJP expect his induction in the Modi cabinet and most probably given an important ministry like home as he had worked in the same capacity with Modi in the Gujarat government. The incumbent Rajya Sabha member also won the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha seat with a resounding margin on Thursday.
