BY - srishti verma

Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India  is celebrating his  73rd birthday on September 17th

BJP units all over India  are planning to celebrate his birthday in different ways

He was born on September 17, 1950, three years after  India attained freedom and months before it became a Republic

Narendra Modi was the third of the six children of Damodardas Modi and Hiraba Modi 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi was a member of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)

Despite being involved in politics since the 1970s, his political career didn't gain significant momentum until the late 1990s

In 1987, Mr Modi started working as  General Secretary of the BJP in Gujarat

The party won a majority in  Gujarat in 1995, and he  rose quickly up the ranks

On October 7, 2001, Narendra Modi assumed his first constitutional role when he became  Chief Minister of Gujarat

In 2014, Modi-led BJP decimated all opposition and swept the election, becoming the  first party to win majority in  3 decades

Before moving to New Delhi,  PM Modi served as the  Chief Minister of his home state of Gujarat for 13 years, since 2001

As his second term as  Prime Minister is about to finish next year, Narendra Modi still towers over Indian politics and much of the country's political discourse
