    Narendra Damodardas Modi (Gujarati

    pronunciation: [ˈnəɾendrə dɑmodəɾˈdɑs ˈmodiː] ( listen);


    born 17 September 1950) is an Indian politician serving as
    the 14th and current Prime Minister of India since 2014.
    He was the Chief Minister of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014
    and is the Member of Parliament for Varanasi. Modi is a
    member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and of
    the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Hindu
    nationalist volunteer organisation. He is the first prime
    minister outside of the Indian National Congress to win
    two consecutive terms with a full majority and the second
    to complete five years in office after Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
    [2]

    Born to a Gujarati family in Vadnagar, Modi helped his


    father sell tea as a child and has said he later ran his own
    stall. He was introduced to the RSS at the age of eight,
    beginning a long association with the organisation. Modi
    left home after finishing high-school in part due to
    an arranged marriage to Jashodaben Chimanlal Modi,
    which he abandoned and publicly acknowledged only
    many decades later. Modi travelled around India for two
    years and visited a number of religious centres before
    returning to Gujarat. In 1971 he became a full-time worker
    for the RSS. During the state of emergency imposed across
    the country in 1975, Modi was forced to go into hiding.
    The RSS assigned him to the BJP in 1985 and he held
    several positions within the party hierarchy until 2001,
    rising to the rank of general secretary.
    Modi was appointed Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2001 due
    to Keshubhai Patel's failing health and poor public image
    following the earthquake in Bhuj. Modi was elected to the
    legislative assembly soon after. His administration has
    been considered complicit in the 2002 Gujarat riots,[a] or
    otherwise criticised for its handling of it. A Supreme
    Court-appointed Special Investigation Team found no
    evidence to initiate prosecution proceedings against Modi
    personally.[b] His policies as chief minister, credited with
    encouraging economic growth, have received praise.[10] His
    administration has been criticised for failing to
    significantly improve health, poverty and education indices
    in the state.[c]
    Modi led the BJP in the 2014 general election which gave
    the party a majority in the Indian lower house of
    parliament, the Lok Sabha, the first time for any single
    party since 1984. Modi's administration has tried to raise
    foreign direct investment in the Indian economy and
    reduced spending on healthcare and social welfare
    programmes. Modi has attempted to improve efficiency in
    the bureaucracy; he has centralised power by abolishing
    the Planning Commission. He began a high-profile
    sanitation campaign and weakened or abolished
    environmental and labour laws. He initiated a
    controversial demonetisation of high-denomination
    banknotes.
    Following his party's victory in the 2019 general election,
    his administration revoked the special status of Jammu and
    Kashmir. His administration also introduced
    the Citizenship Amendment Act, which resulted
    in widespread protests across the country. Described as
    engineering a political realignment towards right-wing
    politics, Modi remains a figure of controversy domestically
    and internationally over his Hindu nationalist beliefs and
    his role during the 2002 Gujarat riots, cited as evidence of
    an exclusionary social agenda.[d]
