== Early life ==
Amin gained early experience in the [[Navnirman Andolan]] of 1974. The movement was so successful that [[Jayprakash Narayan]] was said to have been inspired by its force and success. Amin was one of the most identifiable faces of that movement and its success could be gauged from its ability to topple the government of the then Gujarat CM [[Chimanbhai Patel]].

==Political career==

Amin had won the assembly election in 1990 from [[Sabarmati (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Sabarmati]] on [[Janata Dal]] ticket defeating Natver Patel of BJP by 9444 votes.

Subsequently Amin lost two consecutive elections in 1995 and 1998 with over 21000 votes to Yatin Ojha of the BJP.

In a by-election in 2001, Amin had then defeated BJP's Babu Patel with a margin of over 18000 votes. The seat had fallen vacant after the sitting BJP MLA [[Yatinbhai Oza]] had joined Congress.

He again faced a defeat from BJP's Jitendra Patel in the 2002 election with a huge margin of 59190 votes.

His last electoral defeat came in 2007, when he lost to young Congress turncoat Devusingh Chauhan who defeated him in Matar with 7799 votes.

On 5 December 2012 after he was denied a ticket to contest the [[2012 Gujarat legislative assembly election|December 2012 state legislative assembly election]] he left the [[Indian National Congress]] and joint the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]].<ref>https://www.indiatoday.in/assembly-elections-2012/gujarat/story/gujarat-assembly-polls-2012-congress-leader-narhari-amin-joins-bjp-123460-2012-12-06</ref>
