In 2014, under leadership of Modi, BJP's win marked the "beginning of a new chapter in Indian politics", says actress-turned-MP Kangana Ranaut


"In 2014, the BJP, under the leadership of Narendra Modi, secured a decisive victory in the general elections, marking the beginning of a new chapter in Indian politics," Ms Kangana Ranaut wrote in an article special for IANS news agency marking completion of 100 days of the Modi government. 


"As a child, Narendra Modi occasionally assisted at his father’s tea stall at Vadnagar railway station. He finished his schooling in Vadnagar in 1967, where he was seen as an average student but a talented debater and actor with a passion for theatre. At the age of eight, Narendra Modi joined the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and was mentored by Lakshmanrao Inamdar, she writes. 






Ms Kangana, now MP in Lok Sabha from Himachal Pradesh, says: "Narendra Modi’s first significant political action came in 1971, when he joined a Jana Sangh protest in support of the Bangladesh Liberation War, which led to a brief detention. After the 1971 Indo-Pak war, he became a full-time RSS pracharak (campaigner)." 

Applauding Modi's leadership, the noted actress also says, "Modi's rise to power (2014) was seen as a shift towards strong leadership, with a focus on development and economic reforms. 

His message of "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas" (Together with all, Development for all) resonated with the masses, leading to a historic mandate that ended the decade-long rule of the Indian National Congress."


In 2019, Kangana says, the BJP under Modi, won a second consecutive term with an even larger majority. "The 2019 elections solidified Narendra Modi's position as a transformative leader, with his government being credited for initiatives like the Goods and Services Tax (GST), demonetization, and schemes aimed at the welfare of the poor."

She also wrote: "Narendra Modi’s appeal to the people, coupled with his decisive leadership on national security and development, helped the BJP cross the 300-seat mark in the Lok Sabha, reaffirming his dominance in Indian politics." 


On 2024 polls, she says, Modi and the BJP "once again clinched a resounding victory in the general elections", securing a third consecutive term. 


"This unprecedented win cemented Narendra Modi’s place as one of India’s most dominant political figures in modern history." 

"Narendra Modi's vision for India has always been about nation-building. He believes that a strong and self-reliant India can only be built through unity, development, and progress. 


"Throughout his leadership, he has implemented numerous initiatives aimed at improving the lives of ordinary people, from better infrastructure to digital connectivity and welfare programs. His focus on making India a global leader in various fields, including technology, economy, and diplomacy, showcases his commitment to shaping a bright future for the country."
