10 unknown and interesting facts about

Narendra Modi are:

1.Putting Gujarat in the World Map:

Gandhinagar has been termed as the Greenest

Capital City in whole Asia. Under his reign as Chief

Minister, Surat has become the fastest growing city

in the world. Gujarat is now the favorite choice for

many business establishments beating many other

contemporary states who are still coping with

internal problems to support new establishments.

2. World Bank:

10 years back Gujarat had a huge loan of

almost 50,000 crores on itself from the

World Bank but now it has deposited 1

lakh crore in the World Bank which

proves his credibility as a Chief Minister

and how well he is leading the state

towards success and overall development.

3. His Reign as Chief Minister:

Gujarat has bagged the award of the 2nd best state in the world by UN in the year 2010. Another important feature that NarendraModi has been able to provide is the security of women in his state. When every state is fighting their own devils within the society Narendra Modi has gifted a safe land for the women in his state by providing strict law and order to safeguard the women making it the 2nd least crime against women among all other states.

and also has published some of books written by

him. He also loves photography and had held one

exhibition showcasing his collections of

photographs clicked by him.

5. Mr. Popular:

leader on Twitter just after Shashi Tharoor. He

is very popular with women in his states and

that his evident during the rallies where he is

followed by women more than men.

6. Secular:He has ordered to demolish many

Hindu temples which don’t have

proper government sanction and he

is also admired by many Muslims

of his state. But he is not much

loved by the Muslim communities

7. Political style:

of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and is a fan and

follower of Swami Vivekananda and his

principles.

8. Language:He has a strong hold on each language that he speaks. He can speak in Gujarati that is his mother tongue, Hindi fluently although is not much fluent in English. He is a good orator and this may contribute to the fact that he has taken training for three months in the US on public relations and image management.

As a teenager he ran away to the Himalayas and stayed

there for 2 years with the yogic sadhus and studied

Hindutva.

10. Modi and his Mother:

He takes the blessing of his

mother before starting any

new venture.

But who is this charismatic but

polemic leader?

What does he stand for?

There are things that are important

to know, and not all of them bad.

1. He is controversial for his

role in the 2002 Gujarat riots

Modi was chief minister of the state of Gujarat in 2002 when riots broke out in the city of Godhra after a train carrying Hindus was burnt down as it was coming from the holy city of Ayodhya in North India.

2. He may prove to have a positive impact on the economy

Modi's win is expected to improve the

trade with United States and boost the

Indian economy.

In an article for the Hindu Centre for Politics and Public

Policy, Hardeep Dhillon criticized both candidates for seeing

women through the lens of safety, security and education. She

argued Modi specifically sees women as passive:

Women are imagined to behave, think, and perform in

uniformity and their politics are established prior to their

emergence on the political landscape. As a result, Indian

women are stripped of the very political agency Mr. Modi

claims to advocate for, rendering them as passive – rather than

active – political actors.

3. His track record on women‘s issues

may be lacking

4. He maintains an anti-immigrant

stance

If Modi has his way, he would send all the undocumented Bangaldeshiimmigrants back. In a speech on April 28, 2014, Modi threatened:

I want to warn from here, brothers and sisters write down, that after May 16, will send these Bangladeshis beyond the border with their bags and baggages.

5.His past religious fervor sets a

questionable example for a secular India

Modi was a youth member of the Rashtriya

Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a right-wing, volunteer

Hindu nationalist group, and describes himself as

a Hindu nationalist.
