PM Narendra Modi - Man of Actions, who revived the hope of Indians | Fusion - WeRIndia

Narendra Modi, the 15th Prime Minister of India was born on 17 September 1950 in Vadnagar, Gujarat, India. He is the first Prime Minister who was born after India got its independence. He is the third of six children. Modi began to attend local branches of RSS at the tender age of 8 years and became a junior cadet in RSS. He became full time RSS pracharak by the age of 20 years.

He got married to Jashodaben Chimanlal at the age of 18 years, but they were soon estranged as Modi decided to pursue an itinerant life. Narendra Modi did not reveal his marriage till the 2014 general elections. He revealed her name during the nomination for a parliamentary seat. Modi helped his father by selling tea in his childhood. He ran a tea stall along with his brother in his teenage.

At the age of 34 years, Modi joined Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP). Within 10 years, he became the general secretary of BJP. Modi has been the chief minister of Gujarat for 4 times since 2001. In May 2014, he resigned to the post of CM of Gujarat to take the role of PM. Development, growth and good governance are the three pillars for the success of Narendra Modi as CM. Development is the motto of Narendra Modi which made him the PM. India is the largest democratic country in the world, but in real life it didn’t seem so yet. The greatness of Indian democracy is that a tea seller now became the Prime Minister of India and remained in the hearts of billions of Indians.
