No More Politics. Here's What Amit Shah Wants To Do After Retirement
Union Home Minister Amit Shah gave a glimpse into his retirement plan and said he wants to dedicate the rest of his life to the Vedas, Upanishads, and natural farming
It can't simply be a life of politics for the likes of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who is considered one of the most influential names in his field and is known to work closely with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
And he seems to think so too. Shah gave a glimpse into his retirement plan after politics and said he wants to dedicate the rest of his life to the Vedas, Upanishads, and natural farming.
'I have decided that whenever I retire, I will dedicate the rest of my life to the Vedas, Upanishads, and natural farming," Shah said at the 'Sahkaar Samvaad' event with women from Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and other cooperative workers.

Shah has often expressed his love for reading and said he owns 8,000 books that he does not have time to peruse. He also has a fondness for classical music.
At an event with Network18, he had said: 'I have 8,000 books and haven't read any. I am very interested in classical music, so I will read my books and listen to music while I'm at it."
At the event in Ahmedabad, Shah explained what is about natural farming, also called organic farming, and said it is a science-based technique with immense benefits.
'Wheat grown with chemical fertilisers leads to various health issues, including many lifestyle disorders like BP (blood pressure), diabetes, thyroid and life-threatening diseases like cancer," he said. 'Natural farming not only helps in making the body disease-free but also reduces one's dependence on medicines."
He said natural farming enhances agricultural productivity and shared his own experience of recording a 1.5 times jump in agricultural produce at his farmland.
Months ago, the Home Minister had shared his weight-loss journey and spoke about how his health underwent a massive transformation on the back of positive habits, including the right amount of food and water, coupled with exercise and adequate sleep. Speaking on World Liver Day, he said: 'I have achieved a very big change since May 2019 till now. By having the right amount of sleep, pure water, food and exercise, I have achieved much in life. In the last 4.5 years, I have become free from allopathic medicines."
