Amit Shah tipped to be next BJP president

The BJP parliamentary board is meeting on Wednesday.
The seat of president of the ruling party fell vacant after Rajnath Singh was appointed the Union Home Minister in Modi's Cabinet.

Shah, a general secretary of the BJP, has been accused in fake encounter cases but he rubbished them as false and orchestrated by Opposition.
In the Lok Sabha polls, Shah was in charge of Uttar Pradesh from where BJP won big time.
