PM Modi, leader par excellence
remains unparalleled
PM Modi, is a leader, a statesman, orator par excellence and his political acumen has no parallel.
He emerged from the common lot, and understands the pulse of his fellow people better than anyone.
This man is making transformative changes to this country, and one of the best prime ministers that we have seen since Independence.
He is one PM of India hailed by World Leaders as the most World Class leader, a man much concerned about the country and the people.
When Narendra Modi took oath as the Prime Minister of India after a historic mandate from the people of India on 26.May 2014, history was scripted in the forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhawan. In him the people of India see a dynamic, decisive and development-oriented leader who has emerged as a ray of hope for the dreams and aspirations of a billion Indians.
His focus on development, eye for detail and efforts to bring a qualitative difference in the lives of the poorest of the poor have made Narendra Modi a popular and respected leader across the length and breadth of India.
Narendra Modi’s life has been a journey of courage, compassion and constant hardwork. It was at a very young age that he decided to devote his life in service of the people.
As Chief Minister of his home state of Gujarat, he displayed his skills as a grass root level worker, an organiser and an administrator. In his home town,Gujarat, he ushered a paradigm shift towards pro-people and pro-active good governance.
His inspiring life journey to the Office of Prime Minister began in the by-lanes of Vadnagar, a small town in North Gujarat’s Mehsana district.
This makes him the first Prime Minister to be born in independent India and he is the third child born to Damodardas Modi and Hiraba Modi.
He comes from a family of humble origins and modest means.
Modi’s formative years taught him early tough lessons as he balanced his studies, non-academic life to spare time to work at the family owned Tea Stall as the family struggled to make ends meet.
His thoughts and dreams as a child were quite removed from how most children of his age thought. Perhaps it was the influence of Vadnagar which once used to be a vibrant center of Buddhist learning and spirituality many centuries ago.
Even as a child, he always felt a strong urge to make a difference to society. He was highly influenced by the works of Swami Vivekananda which laid the foundation of his journey towards spiritualism and which inspired him to pursue the mission to fulfill Swamiji’s dream of making India a Jagat Guru.
At the age of 17 he left home to travel across India. For two years he travelled across the expansive landscape of India exploring various cultures.
When he returned home he was a changed man with a clear aim of what he wanted to accomplish in life. He went to Ahmedabad and joined Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). RSS is a socio-cultural organisation working towards the social and cultural regeneration of India.
It was a tough routine for Narendra Modi in Ahmedabad since 1972 when he became a Pracharak for RSS. His day began at 5 am and went on till late night. Late 1970s also saw a young Narendra Modi join the movement to restore Democracy in India which was reeling under Emergency.
While continuing to shoulder different responsibilities within the Sangh during the 1980s Narendra Modi emerged as an Organizer exemplar with his organizing skills. In 1987 a different chapter began in the life of Modi when he started work as the General Secretary of the BJP in Gujarat. In his first task Mr. Modi won a victory for the BJP in Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation elections for the first time ever.
He also ensured that the BJP was a close second to the Congress in the 1990 Gujarat Assembly elections. I
In the 1995 Assembly elections Modi’s organizational skills ensured the BJP’s vote share increased and the party won 121 seats in the Assembly.
Modi worked as the National Secretary of BJP from 1995 looking after party’s activities in Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. As BJP’s General Secretary Organisation he worked to ensure the BJP won the 1998 Lok Sabha elections.
It was in September 2001 that he received a phone call from then Prime Minister Vajpayee which opened a new chapter in his life taking him from the rough and tumble of Organizational Politics to the world of Governance.
PM Modi’s evolution from quintessential Organization Man of the BJP to one of India’s best known leaders recognized for his Good Governance over a span of a decade tells a story of grit, determination and Strong Leadership in the face of grave adversity. His transition from the world of Political Organizing to the realm of Administration and Governance neither had the luxury of time nor the benefit of training. Modi had to learn the ropes of Administration while on the job right from Day One. Narendra Modi’s first 100 days in office offer a glimpse of not just how ò approach to governance has always been viewed as being above politics. Shri Modi never let political differences get in the way of pursuing solutions to developmental challenges.
His performance is reflected in the many Awards his government received from both National and International media. As India’s PM he brings with him a rich and hands-on experience as one of India’s most successful Chief Ministers and one of its finest of Administrators.
