Third among the six children of Damodardas
Mulchand Modi and his wife Heeraben is a lad with extraordinary vision and
strategic mind, NARENDRA MODI. Born on 17th September 1950 to a grocer
family, currently is the 14th chief minister of Gujarat. A strong
and deserving candidate for the prime ministerial poll for 2014 Lok Sabha.
An average student but a keen debater as
told by one of his primary school teacher, Narendra Modi is awarded:
Gujarat Ratna by Shri Poona Gujarati Bandhu
Samaj at Ganesh Kala Krida Manch on celebration of centenary year.
E-Ratna award by the Computer Society of
India.
Best Chief Minister – In a nationwide
survey conducted in 2006 by India Today magazine, Narendra Modi was declared
the Best Chief Minister in the country.
Asian Winner of the FDi Personality of the
Year Award for 2009 by FDi magazine.
In March 2012, Modi appeared on the cover
of the Asian edition of the Time magazine, one of India's few politicians to
have done so.
Representing the Bharatiya Janata Party
(BJP) he is the center-right National Democratic Alliance for the upcoming 2014
Indian general elections. In July 2007, he became the longest-serving Chief
Minister in Gujarat's history when he had been in power for 2,063 days continuously.
He is currently into his fourth consecutive term as Chief Minister. He was the
main strategist in 1995 and 1998 Gujarat state election campaigns.
Though blamed to be controversial and criticized
for some of the activities and beliefs, he is a strong personality, with great
business skill and understanding of economic politics. He has completed his Master's
degree in political science from Gujarat University.
For the decade 2001–2010, Gujarat recorded
a Compound annual growth rate of 10.97%, the highest among all Indian states. Modi's
government has worked to brand Gujarat as a state of dynamic development and
economic growth and prosperity, using the slogan "Vibrant Gujarat”. Gujarat's
social indicator improved from a much lower baseline than other Indian states.
Modi interacted with netizens on Google+ on 31 August 2012. The chat session
was also broadcast live on YouTube. The questions were submitted before the
chat, and those broadcast were mostly based on issues about education, youth
empowerment, rural development and causes of urbanisation.The hashtag
#ModiHangout became the most trending term in India at Twitter on the day of
the session, whereas #VoteOutModi, used by Modi's opponents, became the third
most trending term in the country. The event made Modi the first Indian
politician to interact with netizens through live chat on the internet.
In the 2012 Gujarat legislative assembly
elections, Modi won from the constituency of Maninagar with a majority of
86,373 votes over Sanjiv Bhatt's wife, Shweta, who was contesting for the
Indian National Congress. The BJP as a whole won 115 of the 182 seats; it has
formed the government in Gujarat since 1995 and has had an absolute majority
throughout Modi's time in office.
Later in the by-elections for six seats,
the BJP won all the seats in Gujarat which consisted of four assembly seats and
2 Lok Sabha seats. Interestingly, BJP won all these seats although Modi never
campaigned for its candidates and all the seats were held by the Congress prior
to the by-elections. This brought up the number of seats held by the BJP in the
state assembly to 119. In March 2013, Modi was appointed as member of the BJP
Parliamentary Board, its highest decision-making body, and also as a Chairman
of the party's Central Election Campaign Committee. Modi was selected to head
the poll campaign for 2014 parliamentary election, at the national level
executive meeting of BJP on 10 June 2012.
In three opinion polls conducted by news
agencies and magazines, Narendra Modi was the preferred choice among Indians
for the post as Prime Minister in the forthcoming parliamentary elections. Just
the way Anil Kapoor did amazing work in one day in the movie “Nayak”, majority
of citizens of India are expecting and wanting same kind of revolution in our
nation. Mr. Modi –a one man army can
take our country at heights with developmental changes and progress plan.
