Today, marks the 70th birthday of Narendra Damodardas Modi, the 14th current Prime Minister of India ever since 2014, the former Chief Minister of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014 and is the Member of Parliament for Varanasi. It’s surely perhaps the most tedious task to summarize the legacy and political career of PM Modi in a single strive. PM Modi’s career didn’t take off until he was in his 40s but as soon it did, he abdicated and abolished corruption, territorial and diplomatic disputes, as well as poverty leading to the growth of India to what it is today.
On the 8th November, 2016 he officially announced a demonetization of RBI Governed bank notes, introducing new currency notes in the system through the exchange of old banned notes. Which in return significantly brought out and ended the growth of black money by living no choice to individuals of tax felony and money laundersbut to surrender to the blow of change and cleaning of the PM.
On 18 September 2016 he conducted a personalized attack using Indian Commandos, destroying 18 terrorists’ bases operating from Pakistan under his leadership.Fortunately, Pakistan was speechless as it could not even make a diplomatic claim in the UN. His boldest power play was on 5th August, 2019, when he annexed the state of Jammu and Kashmir into 2 different union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, thereby bringing justice to the people and equality into a new India.
