Union Minister for Coal and Mines G. Kishan Reddy also conveyed his wishes to Amit Shah.

“Under his visionary leadership, India has effectively addressed major internal security challenges, including LW Extremism, bringing in transformative reforms like the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 by repealing colonial laws, thereby strengthening the nation’s unity and integrity. His unwavering commitment to public welfare is commendable and inspiring. Wishing him a long and healthy life in the service of the nation,” posted Kishan Reddy.

Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay also greeted Amit Shah. “For me, he’s more than a political mentor. Amit Shah ji is true Guru who lives and breathes the idea of putting the nation first. No matter what the issue is, his instinct is always to think from the country’s point of view. That clarity of purpose has shaped the way I look at politics. His ability to look at politics as both strategy & service is something I keep learning from every single day,” posted Sanjay on X.

“There’s a rare calmness in the way he reads situations – never rushed, never distributed (disturbed) by noise and that has changed the way I look at leadership. What he says in a few sentences often stays with me for months, shaping how I think, plan, and act. Those who’ve worked around him know what it means when we say – Amit Shah ji doesn’t just plan for the next election, he plans for the next generation. Grateful for every lesson, spoken & unspoken. Wishing him good health, long life, and many more years of guiding India’s political journey with such clarity and strength,” the MoS added in his X post.
