This was Union Home Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/india\/stalins-sole-objective-is-to-make-his-son-cm-amit-shah-attacks-dmk-govt-in-tiruchirappalli-9809183.html\" target=\"_blank\">Amit Shah\u2019s <\/a>year-end, a gruelling schedule of eight days.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">2025 ended on a busy streak as Shah went on a work frenzy on December 28, fitting in six events in Ahmedabad in a day. He started by attending an event organised by the Indian Medical Association at 10:30 in the morning, closely followed by inaugurating a drainage pipeline at Sardar Patel Ring Road in an hour\u2019s difference. At 12 pm, Shah distributed land to those who were displaced due to land erosion in Sabarmati. The Union Home Minister\u2019s fourth event of the day was at 1 pm, visiting a pilot project, the fifth event a Youth Business one at 4 pm, and the last event \u2014 a cultural event called \u2018Namotsav\u2019 at 6 pm. Shah\u2019s current parliamentary constituency is Gandhinagar in Gujarat.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">The next day saw<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/india\/west-bengal-polls-amit-shah-leads-bjps-bid-to-topple-mamata-banerjee-led-tmc-govt-9809300.html\" target=\"_blank\"> Shah\u2019s day-long event<\/a> in the North East\u2019s Assam. In a slew of government events that started with a flower-laying ceremony at the Martyrs\u2019 Memorial at Shahid Smarak in Guwahati at 10:15 am, he attended events such as the inauguration of the Batadrava Than Development Project in Nagaon in an hour, to the inauguration of the newly constructed Police Commissioner\u2019s Office Building and Command Centre at Khanpara in the afternoon. Shah\u2019s last event in Assam on the 29th was the inauguration of the Jyoti Vishnu Auditorium.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">He flew to Kolkata late at night, wearing the BJP leader\u2019s hat, to a grand welcome by party cadres who were waiting outside the airport, for whom he got down and waved before getting back into the car, and heading straight to the BJP Office at Salt Lake where he chaired a party meeting with state leadership along with state in-charges and state\u2019s election in-charges.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">The following day, he started with a big press conference where he sounded confident of the NDA coming to West Bengal with a two-thirds majority, giving enough hint that for the BJP, illegal infiltration will be the biggest electoral issue.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">After the press conference, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/india\/amit-shah-to-kickstart-new-year-with-key-meeting-on-manipur-as-presidents-rule-nears-end-ws-l-9803198.html\" target=\"_blank\">he held<\/a> an organisation meeting of the party, followed by another huddle at a private hotel. The day ended with a few hours-long closed-door meeting between Shah and RSS functionaries of West Bengal.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">On the last day of the year, Shah offered prayers at Thanthania Kali temple in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/politics\/people-in-bengal-are-fed-up-of-corruption-amit-shahs-poll-pitch-on-mamatas-turf-9799759.html\" target=\"_blank\">Bengal<\/a>, followed by another set of organisational meetings at a private hotel before he met all BJP MPs and MLAs at Science City Auditorium \u2014 the schedule first reported by News18. Even candidates who lost in the last elections were invited to Shah\u2019s meeting. Shah instructed Bengal BJP MPs and MLAs to spend at least four days each week on the ground \u2014 holding five to six rallies or corner meetings daily and conducting door-to-door outreach across the state \u2014 making this intensive fieldwork a key criterion for renomination.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Shah left for Delhi late in the evening on the 31st, after giving the task to the Bengal unit. Having spent the first day of the year \u2014 an unusual weekday at the North Block \u2014 Shah held a high-profile meeting on Manipur on January 2 at his residence. The meeting was attended by Manipur Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla, Manipur Government Advisor Kuldiep Singh, Chief Secretary PK Goel, and Director General of Police Rajiv Singh. The meeting comes at a critical time, as President\u2019s Rule in Manipur is set to end on February 13, New Year. Sources indicated that the January 2 deliberations reviewed recent developments on the ground, assessed the prevailing law and order situation, coordinated security deployment, and discussed development initiatives aimed at rebuilding communities affected by prolonged unrest.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twtiframe\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"mr\" dir=\"ltr\">\u0918\u0941\u0938\u092a\u0948\u0920\u093f\u092f\u094b\u0902 \u0915\u094b \u0935\u094b\u091f \u092c\u0948\u0902\u0915 \u092c\u0928\u093e\u0928\u0947 \u0935\u093e\u0932\u0940 TMC \u0938\u0930\u0915\u093e\u0930 \u0915\u0940 \u0907\u0938 \u0935\u093f\u0927\u093e\u0928\u0938\u092d\u093e \u091a\u0941\u0928\u093e\u0935 \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0935\u093f\u0926\u093e\u0908 \u0928\u093f\u0936\u094d\u091a\u093f\u0924 \u0939\u0948\u0964 \u0906\u091c \u0915\u094b\u0932\u0915\u093e\u0924\u093e \u092e\u0947\u0902 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BJP4Bengal?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@BJP4Bengal<\/a> \u0915\u0947 \u0915\u094b\u0930 \u0917\u094d\u0930\u0941\u092a \u0935 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0935\u093e\u0938\u0940 \u0915\u093e\u0930\u094d\u092f\u0915\u0930\u094d\u0924\u093e\u0913\u0902 \u0915\u0947 \u0938\u093e\u0925 \u0906\u0917\u093e\u092e\u0940 \u091a\u0941\u0928\u093e\u0935 \u0915\u0947 \u0938\u0902\u092c\u0902\u0927 \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u092c\u0948\u0920\u0915 \u0915\u0940\u0964\u0985\u09a8\u09c1\u09aa\u09cd\u09b0\u09ac\u09c7\u09b6\u0995\u09be\u09b0\u09c0\u09a6\u09c7\u09b0 \u09ad\u09cb\u099f\u09ac\u09cd\u09af\u09be\u0999\u09cd\u0995\u09c7 \u09aa\u09b0\u09bf\u09a3\u09a4 \u0995\u09b0\u09be \u09a4\u09c3\u09a3\u09ae\u09c2\u09b2 \u09b8\u09b0\u0995\u09be\u09b0\u09c7\u09b0 \u098f\u0987 \u09ac\u09bf\u09a7\u09be\u09a8\u09b8\u09ad\u09be \u09a8\u09bf\u09b0\u09cd\u09ac\u09be\u099a\u09a8\u09c7 \u09ac\u09bf\u09a6\u09be\u09af\u09bc\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/a3ZuievgYo\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/a3ZuievgYo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Amit Shah (@AmitShah) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AmitShah\/status\/2006045327992971664?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">December 30, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">On January 3, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/politics\/how-amit-shah-has-set-bjps-2026-bengal-poll-narrative-put-infiltration-on-centre-stage-9801281.html\" target=\"_blank\">Shah wen<\/a>t to the Andamans, where he first held a meeting of the consultative committee of Home Affairs in the morning, followed by inaugurating an exhibition in the afternoon at ITF Field in Sri Vijaya Puram.
