"I am quite confident that your clear vision, influence and tireless hard work will definitely record a new era in the history of the BJP as well as national politics in India," Vijayakant, president of the Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) said in a statement here.
Hailing Shah as a "strong pillar" of the BJP, MDMK chief Vaiko said that under his able leadership the party would fulfill the promises made to the people.
