Jaipur: – Narendra Modi was sworn in as the 15th Prime Minister of India on 26 May 2014. His full name is Narendra Damodardas Modi. Modi was born on 17 September 1950 in Vadnagar, Gujarat. Narendra Modi is the first Prime Minister of the country born in independent India. After this, on 30 May 2019, Modi took the second oath as the Prime Minister. Prior to this, he has been the Chief Minister of Gujarat State from 7 October 2001 to 22 May 2014.
Narendra Modi’s father used to run a tea stall at Vadnagar railway station. Modi helped his father sell tea as a child and later ran his own stall. At the age of eight, he joined the RSS, with which he remained associated for a long time. After graduation, he left his home. Modi traveled across India for two years, visiting many religious centers. He returned to Gujarat in 1969 or 1970 and then moved to Ahmedabad. In 1971 he became a full-time worker for the RSS. In 1975, during the state of emergency across the country, he had to go into exile for some time. He joined the BJP in 1985 and held several positions within the party hierarchy until 2001, from which he gradually rose to the rank of secretary in the BJP.
