We Love Modi

Narendra Damodardas Modi ( નરેંદ્ર દામોદરદાસ મોદી, ; born 17 September 1950) has been Chief Minister of the state of Gujarat since 7 October 2001.

He participated in the rise to political dominance of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Gujarat as its elections organiser in the early 1990s. This was the period which led to the election of the party in 1995. He became Gujarat's Chief Minister in October 2001, promoted to the office at a time when his predecessor Keshubhai Patel had resigned, following the defeat of BJP in the by-elections.

He was re-elected in December 2002 as chief minister with 127 seats in the 182-member assembly. His term has been both attacked for mismanagement of and complicity in the 2002 Gujarat violence , and praised for outstanding administration for turning Gujarat into an economic powerhouse and controlling terrorism.

In July 2007 he became the longest serving Chief Minister in Gujarat's history when he had been in power for 2063 days continuously.

He was elected again for a third term on December 23, 2007 with an emphatic win in the state elections, which he had cast as a "referendum on his rule"
