The Narendra Modi:A tale of india longest ruling head of state.

 A tale of india longest ruling head of state:

Narendra Modi


Narendra Damodardas modi was born on September 17, 1950 in a lower middle class family of grocery sellers in Vadnagar India. He has successfully proved that success has nothing to do with caste, greed and the place you come from, He is the only prime minister of India whose mother was alive when he sworn as prime minister of country .He is one of the politician who rose from a negligible RSS volunteer to prime minister of country and also achieved the title of longest serving Indian head of state.

Early life and career:

The origination of modi starts in a small town in northern Gujarat, in his early childhood use to sell tea at railway station with his father, later he completed his M.A. degree in political science from gujarat university ,Ahmedabad. Then he joined a proficient Hindu organisation Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh(RSS) in early 1970.After then modi rose steadily in RSS hierarchy .

Modi became a part of BJP in 1987, and year later he got the honour to be the general secretary of Gujarat branch of party and later proved himself efficient by strengthening the party in succeeding years. As a result in 1990 modi was one of the BJP members who participated in the coalition government. In year 1995 general elections he helped BJP to achieve the milestone by forming first ever BJP controlled government in India, however the government was short lived and ended in 1996.

In 1995 Narendra modi was made the secretary of the BJP National organization in New Delhi, and following which he was made general secretary and worked for three year at this position.

After then in february 2002 entered in first time electoral contest and won a seat in Gujarat state assembly and was made chief minister of Gujarat.

Modi politics came in controversy on the morning of 27 Feb. 2002 when a group of Muslim burned a train couch whose all the seats were occupied by 59 Hindu devotees (karsevak) coming back from Ayodhya, the Muslim mob attacked the couch with quilt dipped in kerosene thrown on them in Sabarmati Express train near the Godhra railway station in the Indian state of Gujarat. All the pilgrims were burned live came to know as infamous Godhra kand.

This inhumane deed sparked anger in hindu community of Gujarat as a result communal riot started in all over Gujarat .to maintain the law and order of state modi wrote to the chief minister of neighboring states of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh,which was then ruled by congress but they refused to send their police forces due to antagonist politics and congress touched  height of hypocrisy  when they blamed modi for ineffective steps, modi was accused for not talking proper steps to stop riots. As a result modi was refused diplomatic visa by United States accusing him of riots. This matter then reached to the supreme court and after investigation he got clear chit from the supreme court of India.

Modi continued to mark milestone by repeated political success in Gujrat and became an indispensable leader in BJP hierarchy .In 2002 under modi lead BJP secured 127 out of 182,projecting a very famous manifesto for growth and development  in gujrat,Again BJP won election in 2007 with 117 seats,and in 2012 with seats 2012,within this years Gujrat become development model with the tremendous development in the state,soon this gujrat model was hot topic for discussion at national level as well as international level.the hard work modi added few more stars in this leadership as great leader and he was given credit for rapid growth of the state’s economy. In addition,to this his party’s electoral performances helped lift Modi’s position as not only the most-influential leadership  in the party but also a potential candidate for prime minister of India. In June 2013 Modi was chosen the leader for the BJP’s campaign for the 2014 elections to the Lok Sabha.

The economic reforms by modi were sweeping, introducing structural changes—and temporary disruptions—that could be felt nationwide. Among the most daring and  far-reaching was the demonetization and replacement of 500- and 1,000-rupee banknotes with only a few hours’ notice. The purpose was to stop “black money”—cash used for illegal and anti national  activities—by making it difficult to exchange large sums of cash. The following year the government centralized the consumption tax system and introduced the Goods and Services Tax (GST). GDP growth slowed from these changes, though growth had already been high (8.2 percent in 2015), and the reforms succeeded in expanding the government’s tax base.

Narendra Modi was again sworn-in as India's Prime Minister on 30 May, 2019, for the second term. He is a personality of motivation who rose from a poverty-stricken tea-selling boy to a hardworking development-oriented leader. 

Modi touched the heart and gained his life time high respect by all nationalist citizens of country on the day of 5th August 2019 when home minister Amit shah revoked article 370 in parliament with huge supporting the parliament by a presidential order. This was a issue of great importance for BJP from 1953 when their founder leaders Shyama Prasad Mukharjee marched to lal chowk of Kashmir to host national flag according to him their can’t be 2 constitution in a single nation. From then BJP had this demand of abrogation of article 370 from J&K in their manifesto and on 5 august they kept their promise to the country.
