Amit shah’s responsibilities are increasing. Apart from being home minister, he is also a member of all eight cabinet committees. In addition, he spends around two-and-a-half hours a day handling party affairs. Although party working president J P Nadda is to eventually replace Shah, until now Shah continues to call the shots. Recently, Shah has taken on yet another onerous duty, a fact which has escaped the attention of most. As home minister, he is now in charge of the police force in Jammu and Kashmir. The state has been divided into two union territories and hence law and order comes under the purview of the home ministry in Delhi, as in the case of other UTs such as Delhi
and Puducherry.
