Narendra Modi is the 14th Prime Minister of India, holding office since May 2014. He is the first prime minister born after India’s independence and a prominent leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Prior to becoming the nation’s prime minister, Modi served as the Chief Minister of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014, where he gained national prominence. He represents the Varanasi constituency in Uttar Pradesh in the Lok Sabha, a seat he has held since 2014.
Narendra Modi joined the RSS, the BJP’s ideological parent, in the 1970s and joined the BJP in 1987. The following year he was chosen as the party’s general secretary for Gujarat. Modi took oath as Gujarat CM in 2001, after replacing Keshubhai Patel, who was held responsible for the government’s poor response to the Bhuj earthquake. Modi contested his first-ever election in 2002, shortly after which the Gujarat riots fueled controversy over his leadership. The Supreme Court in 2022 gave a clean chit to Modi and 63 others in a plea exploring a larger conspiracy behind the riots.
Known for his extensive foreign tours, Modi has been credited with raising India’s global profile. Events like “Howdy Modi” in the U.S. and his visits to countries such as Israel, Japan, and the UAE have underscored his foreign policy successes. He is said to have developed strong relations with top world leaders, including U.S. President Joe Biden, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
However, Modi’s leadership has been marked by several controversial statements, especially leading up to the 2024 elections. These include remarks on national security, religion, and political opposition, which have ignited debates.
What love is Rahul baba talking about? What happened in 1984 is only too well documented. Probably, that is THE reason Sikhs are afraid of wearing the turban even till this date. The so-called attacks on his family are for what they did to this nation. But he is doing a fine job of taking them personally to mine for emotions.
How can u say, Rahul won the perception battle. It was plain ridiculous. Are the people fools to see the drama in the intent, drama that couldnt be enacted properly. Your views are biased to reinforce your own beliefs resulting in self fulfilling prophecies
Might be a spur of the moment, but can’t be denied being calculative step. It might be against the decorum or protocol, but isn’t it true that the Prime Minister has surpassed the decorum/protocol at times.
Immature. Winking and hugging in parliament not appropriate
The fourth point is closest to why Gandhi hugged Modi. India has never witnessed so much of hatred , ugliness, blatant killing , lynching, abuses on visual && print media. India of today is burning in the fire of hatred. Rahul s one hug may bring around a complete change . India may again become India of yester years when all communities lived in peace , harmony and united nation .
But the answer to that harmony is certainly NOT Rahul Gandhi as PM or even a king maker. Can’t we bring fresh leaders from a population of 1.25 billion people? Now please don’t say Arvind Kejriwal. Surely we can do better than that.
I really agree.. there is too much of hatred in the society.. Much needed hug
Some reasons even Rahul Gandhi would have not thought of…..Wow….!!
U R right Manoj. Reasons are being made up here. Rahul, plain and simple said “Modiji you have won. Not only hearts but the 2019 elections. Please make place for me & the Congress within the BJP. “We are Indians too”
