Amit Shah vs Mohammed bin Salman

Amit Shah was elected as the national president of the BJP in July 2014, succeeding Rajnath Singh. Under his leadership, the party expanded its electoral base, winning state elections across India and strengthening its organizational machinery.

Amit Shah masterminded the BJP's campaign for the 2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly election, resulting in a landslide victory with 312 out of 403 seats. The win was attributed to his strategic alliance-building and focus on Hindu nationalist themes.

Amit Shah was appointed as the Union Home Minister in the second Modi government in May 2019. He took over the portfolio from Rajnath Singh and continued the implementation of key policies, including the Citizenship Amendment Act and the abrogation of Article 370.

As Home Minister, Amit Shah oversaw the passage and implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in December 2019. The law granted citizenship to non-Muslim migrants from neighboring countries, sparking widespread protests across India.

Amit Shah faced a no-confidence motion in the Rajya Sabha in July 2020, moved by the opposition over the government's handling of the economy and the COVID-19 pandemic. The motion was defeated, with the BJP-led coalition mustering enough votes.

Mohammed bin Salman was appointed Minister of Defense by his father King Salman at age 29. This position gave him control over the Saudi military and marked his rapid rise to power within the royal family.

As Deputy Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman unveiled Vision 2030, a sweeping plan to reduce Saudi Arabia's dependence on oil, diversify the economy, and implement social reforms including allowing women to drive and opening entertainment venues.

King Salman appointed Mohammed bin Salman as Crown Prince, replacing Mohammed bin Nayef. This made him the heir to the throne and the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia, centralizing power in his hands.

Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. U.S. intelligence agencies concluded that Mohammed bin Salman approved the operation, leading to international condemnation and diplomatic fallout.
