Hyderabad: Union Home Minister Amit Shah, popularly known as BJP’s mastermind on Sunday asserted that the next 30 to 40 years will be the era of his party and India will become a "Vishwa guru" (world leader), reported PTI. Amit Shah is largely attributed to BJP’s massive success and has often led the party to tremendous political victories. It was under Amit Shah’s presidency that the BJP won several states as well as two Lok Sabha elections with a comfortable majority. While proposing the political resolution at the BJP national executive meeting here, Shah said "dynastic politics, casteism and politics of appeasement" were the "greatest sins" and the reason behind the country's sufferings over the years.

Briefing reporters on Shah’s speech, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that the veteran leaders cited the BJP's win in a series of polls to assert that it underlined people's approval of the party's "politics of development and performance" and called for ending the politics of family rule, casteism and appeasement.
