	In 1995, the BJP formed its first government in [[Gujarat]], with [[Keshubhai Patel]] as Chief Minister. At that time, the [[Indian National Congress]], the BJP's main rival, was highly influential in rural Gujarat. Modi and Shah worked together to eliminate Congress in the rural areas. Their strategy was to find the second-most influential leader in every village and get them to join the BJP.

	Modi and Shah used the same strategy to reduce Congress' influence over the state's powerful [[Cooperative movement in India\|co-operative]]s, which played an important role in the state's economy. In 1999, Shah was elected as the president of the Ahmedabad District Cooperative Bank (ADCB), the biggest cooperative bank in India.
