He finished his schooling in this city as a normal standard student. Swami Vivekananda’s life inspired him in his childhood. At the age of eight, his political guru Lakshmanarao also came in contact with an organizational worker named Inamdar in the local branch of the Modi Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.

Although Modi has remained silent about his married life in four election campaigns, he acknowledged Yashodaben as his legal wife when he submitted his nomination papers for the 16th general election in 2014.

 

Chief Minister of Gujarat : –

Keshubhai Patel’s health deteriorated in 2001 and he was accused of abuse of power, corruption and administrative weakness in the 2001 Bhuj earthquake. As a result, the party’s national leadership fielded Narendra Modi as an alternative candidate for the chief minister’s post. Though senior party leader LK Advani was worried about Modi’s inexperience, Modi turned down Patel’s offer to become Gujarat’s deputy chief minister as an aide. As a result, Modi took over as the Chief Minister of Gujarat on October 7, 2001. As the Chief Minister, he went against the anti-government and anti-globalization policies of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and adopted a policy of privatization. Narendra Modi won the Gujarat Assembly elections by a huge margin. He won the Gujarat Assembly four times in a row as Chief Minister because of his commitment to the people of Gujarat.

 

Gujarat Development Debate: –

The Modi government portrayed Gujarat as an ongoing developing and economically prosperous state through the Vibrant Gujarat slogan. However, critics point to Gujarat’s backwardness in terms of human development, poverty alleviation, education, etc. The state ranks 13th in the country in poverty, 21st in education, 44.8% of children under five years of age are underweight and 23% are malnourished. In contrast, the Gujarat state government claims that the female literacy rate in the state is higher than the national average, the dropout rate has dropped from 20% in 2001 to 2% in 2011, and the maternal mortality rate has dropped to 32% between 2001 and 2011.

 

According to political scientist Christoph Jefferlot, Gujarat’s development is limited to the urban middle class, while rural and lower-class people are more backward. According to him, the number of families living below the poverty line has increased during Modi’s rule. In July 2013, economist Amartya Sen sharply criticized the Modi administration’s education and health system, although economists Arvind Pangariya and Jagadish Bhagwati opined that Gujarat’s various social indicators of education and health have grown faster than other states in the country.
