PRIME MINISTER

NARENDRA MODI
Biography

Narendra Damodardas Modi (Gujarati: [ˈnəɾendɾə


dɑmodəɾˈdɑs ˈmodi born 17 September 1950is an
Indian politician serving as the 14th and current
prime minister of India since May 2014. Modi was
the chief minister of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014
and is the Member of Parliament from Varanasi.
He is a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party
(BJP) and of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh
(RSS), a right-wing Hindu nationalist paramilitary
volunteer organisation. He is the longest-serving
prime minister from outside the Indian National
Congress.
Modi was born and raised in Vadnagar in northeastern Gujarat, where he
completed his secondary education. He was introduced to the RSS at age eight.
He has reminisced about helping out after school at his father’s tea stall at the
Vadnagar railway station, a description not reliably corroborated. At age 18, he
was married to Jashodaben Modi, whom he abandoned soon after. He first
publicly acknowledged her as his wife more than four decades later when
required to do so by Indian law, but has made no contact with her since. Modi
has asserted he had travelled in northern India for two years after leaving his
parental home, visiting a number of religious centres, but few details of his travels
have emerged. Upon his return to Gujarat in 1971, he became a full-time worker
for the RSS. After the state of emergency was declared by Prime Minister Indira
Gandhi in 1975, he went into hiding. The RSS assigned him to the BJP in 1985 and
he held several positions within the party hierarchy until 2001, rising to the rank of
general secretary
Modi was appointed chief minister of Gujarat in 2001 due to Keshubhai Patel’s
failing health and poor public image following the earthquake in Bhuj. Modi
was elected to the legislative assembly soon after. His administration has
been considered complicit in the 2002 Gujarat riots in which 1044 people
were killed, three-quarters of whom were Muslim,[d] or otherwise criticised for
its management of the crisis. A Special Investigation Team appointed by the
Supreme Court of India found no evidence to initiate prosecution
proceedings against him personally.[e] While his policies as chief minister—
credited with encouraging economic growth—have received praise, his
administration was criticised for failing to significantly improve health, poverty
and education indices in the state
Modi led the BJP in the 2014 general election which gave the party a majority
in the lower house of Indian parliament, the Lok Sabha, the first time for any
single party since 1984. His administration has tried to raise foreign direct
investment in the Indian economy and reduced spending on healthcare,
education, and social welfare programmes. He centralised power by
abolishing the Planning Commission and replacing it with the NITI Aayog. He
began a high-profile sanitation campaign, controversially initiated a
demonetisation of high-denomination banknotes and a transformation of the
taxation regime, and weakened or abolished environmental and labour laws.
He oversaw the country’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As prime
minister, he has received
Early political Life

June 1975, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi declared a state of emergency in India
which lasted until 1977. During this period, known as “the Emergency”, many of
her political opponents were jailed and opposition groups were
banned.[78][79] Modi was appointed general secretary of the “Gujarat Lok
Sangharsh Samiti”, an RSS committee co-ordinating opposition to the
Emergency in Gujarat. Shortly afterwards, the RSS was banned.[80] Modi was
forced to go underground in Gujarat and frequently travelled in disguise to
avoid arrest. He became involved in printing pamphlets opposing the
government, sending them to Delhi and organising demonstrations.[81][82] He
was also involved with creating a network of safe houses for individuals wanted
by the government, and in raising funds for political refugees and activists.[83]
During this period, he wrote a book in Gujarati, Sangharsh Ma Gujarat (In the
Struggles of Gujarat), describing events during the Emergency.[84][85] Among
the people he met in this role was trade unionist and socialist activist George
Fernandes, as well as several other national political figures.[86] In his travels
during the Emergency, he was often forced to move in disguise, once dressing
as a monk, and once as a Sikh.
Modi became an RSS sambhag pracharak (regional organiser) in 1978,
overseeing its activities in the areas of Surat and Vadodara, and in 1979, he
went to work for the RSS in Delhi, where he was put to work researching and
writing the RSS’ version of the history of the Emergency. He returned to
Gujarat a short while later, and was assigned by the RSS to the BJP in 1985. In
1987, he helped organise the BJP’s campaign in the Ahmedabad municipal
election, which the party won comfortably; his planning has been described
as the reason for that result by biographers.[88][89] After L. K. Advani became
president of the BJP in 1986, the RSS decided to place its members in
important positions within the party; Modi’s work during the Ahmedabad
election led to his selection for this role, and Modi was elected organising
secretary of the BJP’s Gujarat unit later in 1987.
