The entire world attention is drawn to India, as Narendra Dharmodardas Modi begins a new innings today as the Prime Minister of India. This is a brief description about the new Indian Prime Minister.
Narendra Dhramodardas Modi was born on 17 September 1950. He is a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Modi was born on 17 September 1950 to a family of grocers belonging to the backward oil-presser community, in Vadnagar in Mehsana district of what was then Bombay State and known as Gujarat the present-day. He was the third of four children born to Damodardas Mulchand Modi and his wife, Heeraben. He helped his father sell tea at Vadnagar railway station. As a child and as a teenager, he ran a tea stall with his brother near a bus terminal. In 1967, he completed his schooling in Vadnagar, where a teacher described him as being an average student, but a keen debater who had an interest in theatre. That interest has influenced how he now projects himself in politics.
In 1978, Modi graduated with an extramural degree through Distance Education in political science from Delhi University. In 1983, while remaining as a pracharak in the RSS, completed his Master’s Degree in political science from Gujarat University.
Modi was a key strategist for the BJP in the successful 1995 and 1998 Gujarat state election campaigns. He became Chief Minister of Gujarat in October 2001 and served longer by far in that position than anyone else to date. He was a major campaign figure in the 2009 general election, which the BJP led National Democratic Alliance lost to the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance. He led the BJP in the April-May 2014 general election, which resulted in a majority for the BJP in the Lok Sabha.
