Modi’s Political Journey
Born on September 17, 1950, in Vadnagar, Gujarat, Narendra Modi rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most influential leaders in Indian history. He is currently the third longest-serving Prime Minister of India, after Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi, and the second in terms of uninterrupted tenure.
Under his leadership, the BJP has cemented itself as the dominant force in Indian politics. From its maiden majority in the Lok Sabha in 2014, the party has maintained its popular appeal despite setbacks. Even after falling short of the halfway mark in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, Modi has helped the BJP regain momentum with significant victories in assembly elections in Haryana and Maharashtra.
A Leader of Global Standing
Beyond electoral politics, Modi’s tenure has been marked by efforts to elevate India’s global stature. From spiritual and cultural recognition to robust diplomacy, his leadership has positioned India as a rising power on the world stage.
As India celebrates his 75th birthday, PM Modi continues to combine vision with action, inspiring millions with his dedication to service, progress, and national pride.
