Narendra Modi biography
Narendra Damodardas Modi is the 15th Prime Minister of India and assumed office in May 2014. He was re-elected in the 17th Lok Sabha from Varanasi and led the Bhartiya Janata Party to a massive victory for a second term during 2019 Lok Sabha, he served as the Chief Minister of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014. He has been an active member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in the past. Since coming to power, Modi has single-handedly made BJP the most powerful party in the country with power in most of the state.
Narendra Modi is one of the most followed names on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Modi's rise in the BJP has been phenomenal. Ensuring three consecutive election victories for the party in Gujarat, Modi launched himself on to the national stage. Despite stiff opposition from party patriarch LK Advani, Modi was declared the prime ministerial candidate for Lok Sabha elections in 2014.
A significant aspect of Modi's tenure has been his focus on foreign policy and international relations. He has actively engaged with world leaders, promoting India's interests on the global stage. Modi has sought to strengthen bilateral ties, forge strategic partnerships, and enhance India's standing as a global power. Notable initiatives include the establishment of the International Solar Alliance and increased cooperation with African nations.
Narendra Modi has effectively utilized social media platforms to directly communicate with the citizens of India, bypassing traditional media channels. Through his monthly radio program "Mann Ki Baat", Modi addresses a wide range of issues and shares his thoughts with the nation. This direct communication approach has helped him maintain a strong connection with the people and project a relatable image.
