Prime minister Narendra Modi :
Narendra Damodardas Modi born onv17 September 195) is an Indian politician who is the 16th and current Prime Minister of India, in office since May 2014. He was the Chief Minister of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014, and is the Member of Parliament for Varanasi. Modi, a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), is a Hindu nationalistand member of the right-wing Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
Many may call him an anti-Muslim or a Hindu with extremist tendencies, but for some Narendra Modi is the best Prime Minister India can ever have. Even critics cannot deny his intentions for India’s development, and he has proved his mettle in a number of tough conditions. His undeterred resolve to turn India into a ‘no-corruption’ country along with his commitment to development helped him win Lok Sabha 2014 with absolute majority. And guess why even the opposition hasn’t seriously accused the Modi government of corruption so far? It’s because there isn’t any.He is loved by all and so he deserves honour and respect .
