Early Life and Political Career

Narendra Modi was born in a family of Wadnagar, in Gujrat. During his childhood, he used to sell tea and peanut. That has been as great source of inspiration for many youth around India and the world. It has been proved that a tea seller in a street can be a prime minister of a powerful country of the world, then if any person has the courage to follow his/her dreams, then they can achieve what they want. 

At the age of eight, he got to connect with RSS and remained with it for a long time. After having bachelor degree, he left his home. Then he visited whole India for two years. During his visit, he frequently visited religious places.  In 1969 and 070 he returned to Gujrat again and headed to Ahamdabaad.  In 1971 he had life-long membership of RSS. During the insurgency period of 1975, he became underground. Then he got connected with BJP in 1985 and until 2001 he performed different roles inside the party. Gradually he became secretary of BJP.

Due to the massive earthquake of 2001 and bad health as well as bad reputation of contemporary Chief Minister Kesubhai Patel, he got opportunity to be nominated in the post of Chief Minister of Gujrat. Immediately he was elected in the parliamentary.  During the violence of 2002, his administration is often regarded as cruel and rude. He was also massively criticized. However, the committee organized to examine the agents involved in the violence by Supreme Court could not found any substantial evidence. 

In his leadership BJP went to the election in 2014 and got 280 seats, which was massive that opened the way for BJP to form his own prime minister in the central. Now he is one of the famous politicians of the country.  He is one of the most famous and followed leader in social networking sites twitter and Facebook.

Family Life

Narendra Modi, though lives separately, is a married person. He has also his mother alive in the village of Gujrat. Accordingly, he got married in very childhood and it didn’t become successful.

Narendra Modi's marriage was arranged by his parents when he was a child. He was engaged with Jasodaben Narendrabhai Modi(13 years old) marrying her when he was 18. They spent little time together and grew apart when Modi began two years of travel, including visits to Hindu ashrams (asyluym). Reportedly, their marriage was never consumated and he kept it a secret because otherwise he could not have become a 'pracharak' in the puritan Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh. Although Modi kept his marriage secret for most of his career, he acknowledged his wife when he filed his nomination for a parliamentary seat in the 2014 general elections. Modi maintains a close relationship with his mother, Hiraben and often visits her on his birthday to seek her blessings. (Wikipedia)
