ನರೇಂದ್ರ ಮೋದಿ (Narendra Modi) ನೇತೃತ್ವದ ಸರ್ಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಒಂಬತ್ತು ವರ್ಷ ಪೂರ್ತಿಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಮುಂದಿನ ವರ್ಷ ಮತ್ತೆ ಲೋಕಸಭೆ ಚುನಾವಣೆ (Loka Sabha Election) ಇದ್ದು, ಈಗಾಗಲೇ ಪಕ್ಷಗಳು ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಸಿದ್ಧತೆ ಆರಂಭಿಸಿವೆ. ಈ ಹಂತದಲ್ಲಿ ನರೇಂದ್ರ ಮೋದಿ ಅವರು ದೇಶದ ಪ್ರಧಾನಮಂತ್ರಿಯಾಗಿ ಕೂಡ ಒಂಬತ್ತು ವರ್ಷ ಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗಿದೆ. ದೇಶದ ಪ್ರಧಾನಮಂತ್ರಿ ಆಗುವುದಕ್ಕೂ ಮುನ್ನ ಅವರು ಗುಜರಾತಿನ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದರು. ಅವರ ಬದುಕಿನ ಕಡೆಗೊಂದು ಇಣುಕುನೋಟ ಬೀರಿ, ಅವರ ಸಾಧನೆ, ಬದುಕಿನ ಕಿರುಚಿತ್ರಣ ಪಡೆಯುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಈ ಸನ್ನಿವೇಶ ಒಂದು ನಿಮಿತ್ತ.

ಇದು ನರೇಂದ್ರ ಮೋದಿ ನೇತೃತ್ವದ ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಎರಡನೇ ಅವಧಿ. ಅವರು 2014ರಲ್ಲಿ ಮೊದಲ ಸಲ ಪ್ರಧಾನಮಂತ್ರಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದರು. ನರೇಂದ್ರ ಮೋದಿಯವರು 2019ರ ಮೇ 30 ರಂದು ಎರಡನೇ ಬಾರಿಗೆ ಭಾರತದ ಪ್ರಧಾನ ಮಂತ್ರಿಯಾಗಿ ಪ್ರಮಾಣವಚನ ಸ್ವೀಕರಿಸಿದರು. ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯದ ನಂತರ ಜನಿಸಿದ ಮೊದಲ ಪ್ರಧಾನಿ ಎಂಬ ಕೀರ್ತಿಗೆ ಭಾಜನರು ಅವರು. ಇದಕ್ಕೂ ಮೊದಲು 2001ರ ಅಕ್ಟೋಬರ್‌ನಿಂದ 2014ರ ಮೇ ತಿಂಗಳ ತನಕ ಗುಜರಾತ್‌ನ ದೀರ್ಘಾವಧಿಯ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿ ಎಂಬ ಹೆಗ್ಗಳಿಕೆಗೆ ಪಾತ್ರರಾದವರು.

ಅವರು ಪ್ರಧಾನಮಂತ್ರಿಯಾದಲ್ಲಿಂದೀಚೆಗೆ ಅವರ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ಬದುಕು, ಜಾಗತಿಕವಾಗಿ ಬದಲಾದ ಭಾರತದ ಚಿತ್ರಣ ಎಲ್ಲವೂ ಪದೇಪದೆ ಚರ್ಚೆಗೆ ಬರುವಂಥದ್ದು. ಅದೇ ರೀತಿ ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್‌ ಮತ್ತು ಇತರೆ ವಿಪಕ್ಷದವರ ಟೀಕೆಗಳನ್ನೂ ಸದಾ ಎದುರಿಸುತ್ತಲೇ ಬಂದವರು ಪ್ರಧಾನಿ ಮೋದಿ. ಲೋಕಸಭೆ ಚುನಾವಣೆಗೆ ಇನ್ನು ಕೆಲವೇ ತಿಂಗಳು ಇದೆ. ಈ ಹಂತದಲ್ಲಿ ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್‌ ಪಕ್ಷ ಮತ್ತೆ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಹುಮತದೊಂದಿಗೆ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ರಚಿಸುವಲ್ಲಿ ಯಶಸ್ವಿಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಲೋಕಸಭೆ ಚುನಾವಣೆಯಲ್ಲೂ ಗೆಲ್ಲುವ ಭರವಸೆಯೊಂದಿಗೆ ಮುಂದಡಿ ಇರಿಸಿದೆ. ಇಲ್ಲಿ ನಾಯಕತ್ವದ ವಿಚಾರ ಮತ್ತೆ ಮುನ್ನೆಲೆಗೆ ಬಂದಿದೆ.

ಸಂಸತ್ತಿನ 2014 ಮತ್ತು 2019 ರ ಚುನಾವಣೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಭಾರತೀಯ ಜನತಾ ಪಕ್ಷವನ್ನು ದಾಖಲೆಯ ಗೆಲುವಿನತ್ತ ಮುನ್ನಡೆಸಿದ್ದು ಪ್ರಧಾನಿ ನರೇಂದ್ರ ಮೋದಿ ಅವರ ನಾಯಕತ್ವ. ಎರಡೂ ಸಂದರ್ಭಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ಬಹುಮತವನ್ನು ಪಕ್ಷ ಗಳಿಸಿದೆ. 1984ರ ಚುನಾವಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕೊನೆಯ ಬಾರಿಗೆ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ಪಕ್ಷವೊಂದು ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ಬಹುಮತ ಪಡೆದಿತ್ತು ಎಂಬುದನ್ನು ಇಲ್ಲಿ ನೆನಪಿಸಬಹುದು.

ನರೇಂದ್ರ ಮೋದಿ ಅವರ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ಬದುಕು

ನರೇಂದ್ರ ಮೋದಿ ಅವರ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ಬದುಕು ಗಮನಿಸಿದರೆ ಅದು ಆರಂಭವಾಗಿದ್ದು 1990ರ ದಶಕದಿಂದ. ಗುಜರಾತ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಧಾನಸಭಾ ಚುನಾವಣೆ ಘೋಷಣೆ ಆಗಿತ್ತು. ಜನರಲ್ಲಿ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ವಿರೋಧಿ ಧೋರಣೆ ಜಾಗೃತವಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಪಕ್ಷದ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ನಾಯಕತ್ವಕ್ಕೆ ಪೂರಕವಾದ ಪ್ರಬಲ ಸಂಘಟನೆಯನ್ನು ನಿರ್ಮಿಸುವುದು ಅಂದು ನರೇಂದ್ರ ಮೋದಿ ಅವರ ಎದುರಿಗಿದ್ದ ಪ್ರಮುಖ ಸವಾಲು. ದಶಕದ ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್‌ ಆಳ್ವಿಕೆ ಕೊನೆಗೊಳಿಸಿದ ಜನ, ಜನತಾದಳಕ್ಕೆ 70 ಸ್ಥಾನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ, ಬಿಜೆಪಿಗೆ 67 ಸ್ಥಾನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಗೆಲುವು ನೀಡಿದ್ದರು. ಹಾಗೆ ಪಕ್ಷ ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರವರ್ಧಮಾನಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂತು. ಮುಂದಿನ ಚುನಾವಣೆ 1995ರಲ್ಲಿ ಬಿಜೆಪಿಗೆ 182 ಸ್ಥಾನಗಳ ಪೈಕಿ 121ರಲ್ಲಿ ಗೆಲುವು ಸಿಕ್ಕಿತ್ತು. ನರೇಂದ್ರ ಮೋದಿ ಅವರು 2001ರ ಅಕ್ಟೋಬರ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ಗುಜರಾತ್‌ನ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿಯಾದರು. ಅಲ್ಲಿಂದಾಚೆಗೆ ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಒಮ್ಮೆಯೂ ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಅಧಿಕಾರ ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡಿಲ್ಲ.

ಕೇಂದ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ 2014ರಲ್ಲಿ ಅಧಿಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಬರಲು ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಗುಜರಾತ್‌ ಅನ್ನು ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಯ ಮಾದರಿಯನ್ನಾಗಿ ಬಿಂಬಿಸಿತ್ತು. ಅಷ್ಟೇ ಅಲ್ಲ, ಮೊದಲ ಸಲ ಪ್ರಧಾನಮಂತ್ರಿ ಅಭ್ಯರ್ಥಿಯ ಹೆಸರನ್ನೂ ಅದು ಘೋಷಿಸಿತ್ತು. ನರೇಂದ್ರ ಮೋದಿ ನಾಯಕತ್ವವನ್ನು ಪಕ್ಷ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿತ್ತು. ಮೋದಿ ಹವಾ ಮೂಲಕ ಶುರುವಾದ ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಅಧಿಕಾರ ಪ್ರಯಾಣ ಅನೇಕ ರಾಜ್ಯಗಳಲ್ಲೂ ಪಕ್ಷವನ್ನು ಅಧಿಕಾರದ ಗದ್ದುಗೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕೂರಿಸಿತು.

ಜಾಗತಿಕ ಮಟ್ಟದಲ್ಲೂ ನರೇಂದ್ರ ಮೋದಿ ನಾಯಕತ್ವ ತನ್ನದೇ ಛಾಪು ಮೂಡಿಸಿ ಮನ್ನಣೆ ಪಡೆಯಿತು. ಎರಡನೇ ಅವಧಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅಂತಾರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ವಿದ್ಯಮಾನಗಳು ನಡೆದಾಗ, ಜಗತ್ತಿನ ವಿವಿಧ ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರಗಳ ನಾಯಕರು ಭಾರತದ ಕಡೆಗೆ ತಿರುಗಿ ನೋಡುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡಿದ ನರೇಂದ್ರ ಮೋದಿ, ಪ್ರಮುಖ ವಿಚಾರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಭಾರತವನ್ನು ನಿರ್ಣಾಯಕ ಸ್ಥಾನದಲ್ಲಿರುವಂತೆ ನೋಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

Narendra Modi

Who Is Narendra Modi?

Narendra Modi grew up in the Indian town of Vadnagar, the son of a street merchant. He entered politics as a youth and quickly rose through the ranks of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, a Hindu nationalist political party. Modi joined the mainstream Bharatiya Janata Party in 1987, eventually becoming national secretary. Elected prime minister of India in 2014, he earned reelection to the post five years later.

Narendra Modi was born in the small town of Vadnagar, in northern Gujarat, India. His father was a street merchant who struggled to support the family. Young Narendra and his brother sold tea near a bus terminal to help out. Though an average student in school, Modi spent hours in the library and was known as a strong debater. In his early teens, he joined Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, the student wing of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Hindu nationalist political party.

Modi had an arranged marriage at 18 but spent little time with his bride. The two eventually separated, with Modi claiming to be single for some time.

Early Political Career

In 1987, Narendra Modi joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which stood for Hindu nationalism. His rise through the ranks was rapid, as he wisely chose mentors to further his career. He promoted privatization of businesses, small government and Hindu values. In 1995, Modi was elected BJP national secretary, a position from which he successfully helped settle internal leadership disputes, paving the way for BJP election victories in 1998.

Gulbarg Massacre and Alleged Complicity

In February 2002, while Modi served as chief minister of Gujarat, a commuter train was attacked, allegedly by Muslims. In retaliation, an attack was carried out on the Muslim neighborhood of Gulbarg. Violence spread, and Modi imposed a curfew granting police shoot-to-kill orders. After peace was restored, Modi’s government was criticized for the harsh crackdown, and he was accused of allowing the killings of more than 1,000 Muslims, along with the mass raping and mutilation of women. After two investigations contradicted one other, the Indian Supreme Court concluded there was no evidence Modi was at fault.

Narendra Modi was reelected chief minister of Gujarat in 2007 and 2012. Through those campaigns, Modi's hard-line Hinduism softened and he spoke more about economic growth, focusing on privatization and encouraging policies to shape India as a global manufacturing epicenter. He was credited with bringing prosperity and development to Gujarat, though others said he did little to alleviate poverty and improve living standards.

Elected Prime Minister

In June 2013, Modi was selected to head the BJP’s 2014 election campaign to the Lok Sabha (the lower house of India’s parliament), while a grassroots campaign was already in place to elect him prime minister. Modi campaigned hard, portraying himself as a pragmatic candidate capable of turning around India’s economy, while his critics portrayed him as a controversial and divisive figure.

In May 2014, Modi and his party were victorious, taking 282 of the 534 seats in the Lok Sabha. The victory marked a crushing defeat to the Indian National Congress, which had controlled country politics for most of the previous 60 years, and sent a message that India’s citizens were behind an agenda that moved away from a secular, socialist state to a more capitalist-leaning economy with Hindu nationalism at its core.

On May 26, 2014, Modi was sworn in as the 14th prime minister of India, the first to have been born after the country achieved independence from the U.K.

Since becoming prime minister, Modi has encouraged foreign businesses to invest in India. He has lifted various regulations — permits and inspections — so that businesses could grow more easily. He has decreased spending on social welfare programs and has encouraged the privatization of healthcare, although he has devised a policy on universal healthcare for those citizens with serious ailments. In 2014, he launched a "Clean India" campaign, which focused on sanitation and the construction of millions of toilets in rural areas.

His environmental policies have been lax, especially when those policies hamper industrial growth. He has lifted restrictions on protecting the environment and is more open to the use of genetically modified crops, despite protests from India's farmers. Under Modi's power, he has suppressed the influence of civil society organizations, such as Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, Avaaz, and other humanitarian groups, saying they prevent economic growth.

In terms of foreign policy, Modi has taken on a multilateral approach. He has participated in the BRICS, ASEAN and G20 summits, and has aligned himself with the United States, China, Japan and Russia to improve economic and political ties. He has also reached out to Islamic republics, most notably fostering diplomatic ties with Pakistan, although he has repeatedly labeled the country a "terrorist state" and an "exporter of terrorism."

Under his rule, Modi has substantially centralized his power compared to previous administrations.

Global Recognition

In 2016 Modi won the reader's poll as TIME 's Person of the Year. In previous years, he had received top ranking as one of the most influential political figures in the world in both TIME and Forbes Magazine . With high favorability ratings among Indian voters, Modi enjoyed a reputation for actively engaging citizens through social media and encouraging his own administration to stay active on its platforms.

Reelection and Protests

Following a landslide victory for the BJP, Modi was sworn in for his second term as prime minister on May 30, 2019.

By August, controversy was brewing when Modi announced his intention to revoke Article 370, a constitutional provision which had granted autonomy to the state of Jammu and Kashmir since 1949. Amid a reported communications blackout in the area, India's parliament voted to reclassify the Muslim-majority state as a union territory.

In December, parliament passed the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) to fast-track citizenship for non-Muslim immigrants from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Although Modi lauded the bill as a means for helping religious minorities escape persecution, opponents viewed it as unconstitutional and discriminatory, leading to the eruption of violent protests throughout the country.

Meanwhile, a new problem was brewing with the spread of the coronavirus from its starting point in central China. Following a series of decrees designed to curb an outbreak in India, Modi in late March 2020 ordered all 1.3 billion people in the country to remain at home for the next three weeks.

There, Modi lived with his uncle, who worked in the canteen at the Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation.

Let us tell you that in 1970 that is at the age of 20, he was so influenced by the RSS that he became the full-time Pracharak and he had formally joined RSS in 1971 at the age of 21.

Recent News

Narendra Modi (born September 17, 1950, Vadnagar, India) is an Indian politician and government official who rose to become a senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). In 2014 he led his party to victory in elections to the Lok Sabha (lower chamber of the Indian parliament), after which he was sworn in as prime minister of India . Prior to that he had served (2001–14) as chief minister (head of government) of Gujarat state in western India. The Modi-led BJP (and the BJP-led NDA alliance) won majority again in the 2019 general election. Although the BJP failed to secure a majority on its own in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections , the BJP-led NDA alliance won 293 of the 543 seats in the Lok Sabha, paving the way for Narendra Modi to become the country’s prime minister for a third consecutive term.

Modi was raised in a small town in northern Gujarat, and he completed an M.A. degree in political science from Gujarat University in Ahmadabad . He joined the pro-Hindu Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) organization in the early 1970s and set up a unit of the RSS’s students’ wing, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, in his area. Modi rose steadily in the RSS hierarchy , and his association with the organization significantly benefited his subsequent political career.

Modi joined the BJP in 1987, and a year later he was made the general secretary of the Gujarat branch of the party. He was instrumental in greatly strengthening the party’s presence in the state in succeeding years. In 1990 Modi was one of the BJP members who participated in a coalition government in the state, and he helped the BJP achieve success in the 1995 state legislative assembly elections that in March allowed the party to form the first-ever BJP-controlled government in India. The BJP’s control of the state government was relatively short-lived, however, ending in September 1996.

In 1995 Modi was made the secretary of the BJP’s national organization in New Delhi , and three years later he was appointed its general secretary. He remained in that office for another three years, but in October 2001 he replaced the incumbent Gujarat chief minister, fellow BJP member Keshubhai Patel, after Patel had been held responsible for the state government’s poor response in the aftermath of the massive Bhuj earthquake in Gujarat earlier that year that killed more than 20,000 people. Modi entered his first-ever electoral contest in a February 2002 by-election that won him a seat in the Gujarat state assembly.

Modi’s political career thereafter remained a mixture of deep controversy and self-promoted achievements. His role as chief minister during communal riots that engulfed Gujarat in 2002 was particularly questioned. He was accused of condoning the violence or, at least, of doing little to stop the killing of more than 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, that ensued after dozens of Hindu passengers died when their train was set on fire in the city of Godhra . In 2005 the United States declined to issue him a diplomatic visa on the grounds that he was responsible for the 2002 riots, and the United Kingdom also criticized his role in 2002. Although in the succeeding years Modi himself escaped any indictment or censure—either by the judiciary or by investigative agencies—some of his close associates were found guilty of complicity in the 2002 events and received lengthy jail sentences. Modi’s administration was also accused of involvement in extrajudicial killings (variously termed “encounters” or “fake encounters”) by police or other authorities. One such case, in 2004, involved the deaths of a woman and three men whom officials said were members of Lashkar-e-Taiba (a Pakistan-based terrorist organization that was involved in the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks ) and were alleged to have been plotting to assassinate Modi.

Modi’s repeated political success in Gujarat, however, made him an indispensable leader within the BJP hierarchy and led to his reintegration into the political mainstream. Under his leadership, the BJP secured a significant victory in the December 2002 legislative assembly elections, winning 127 of the 182 seats in the chamber (including a seat for Modi). Projecting a manifesto for growth and development in Gujarat, the BJP was again victorious in the 2007 state assembly elections, with a seat total of 117, and the party prevailed again in the 2012 polls, garnering 115 seats. Both times Modi won his contests and returned as chief minister.

During his time as head of the Gujarat government, Modi established a formidable reputation as an able administrator, and he was given credit for the rapid growth of the state’s economy. In addition, his and the party’s electoral performances helped advance Modi’s position as not only the most-influential leader within the party but also a potential candidate for prime minister of India . In June 2013 Modi was chosen the leader of the BJP’s campaign for the 2014 elections to the Lok Sabha.
