The Modi-Shah partnership matured in the 1990s. In 1995, after Keshubhai Patel became chief minister, the BJP had its best ever opportunity to wipe out the Congress in Gujarat. From isolating political rivals within the BJP to luring rivals from other parties and especially the Congress, from using local industrial associations to cooperative institutions, Modi and Shah both made huge contributions to the growth of the BJP in the western state.Keshubhai appointed Shah as chairman of the Gujarat State Financial Corporation (GSFC), allegedly at the behest of Modi who was then the chief minister's closest ally in the party. The GSFC is considerably powerful among local industries, and Shah was able to leverage his skills as an organiser, strategist, fund-raiser and more during this period.Years later, Modi would go on to serve as chief minister of Gujarat, keeping the post for over 12 years. During this period, Shah handled as many as 10 departments as minister at different times, including the all-important home department. Shah has managed portfolios including Prisons, Law and Justice, Civil Defence, Excise, Prohibition, Home Guards, Police Housing, Transport, Gram Rakshak Dal and Legislative Affairs.
