Bharatiya Janata Party chief Amit Shah has a reputation in the party for being a hard taskmaster and a workaholic who has little time for recreation.

So it surprised many in his party when they heard Shah joined some of his party colleagues for dinner at a restaurant in Delhi on Tuesday evening.

The outside world came to know of it when BJP Rajya Sabha member Subramanian Swamy tweeted about it on Wednesday afternoon.

'Yesterday, hard working efficient Parliamentary Affairs Minister (Vijay) Goel took BJP MPs of Rajya Sabha, including me to dinner at a lovely Rajasthan type ITDC Haveli restaurant/hotel in Chandni Chowk. Party president Amit Shah headed the dinner table. The informality of the occasion was great,' Swamy tweeted.

A party member quipped how much has changed after the recent assembly poll results.
