Narendra Modi is a leading Indian politician and the current Prime Minister of India. He is known for leading his party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), to a historic victory in the 2014 general elections. He became the first Indian Prime Minister born after independence. Rising from a humble background as a tea seller, Modi evolved into a development-oriented leader and served as the Chief Minister of Gujarat for 12 years, making him the longest-serving individual in that role. He became a controversial figure following the 2002 Gujarat riots, with his government accused of not doing enough to prevent or control the violence. Despite this, he built a reputation as an efficient and incorruptible leader, credited with fostering economic development in Gujarat. However, his tenure as Chief Minister also drew criticism for not sufficiently addressing issues of human development in the state. As Prime Minister, he launched several programs and policies aimed at economic growth and development, such as Make in India, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India Mission), and Digital India. His tenure has been marked by ambitious reforms, but it has also sparked debate over their effectiveness and inclusivity.
