He joined the BJP in 1985 and held several positions within the party hierarchy until 2001, from where he gradually rose to the rank of Secretary in the BJP.
Narendra Modi was appointed as the Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2001 due to the failing health and poor public image of the then Chief Minister of Gujarat Keshubhai Patel after the Gujarat Earthquake 2001 , (earthquake in Bhuj) .

Apart from this, he was also interested in starting new projects on political subjects.
At the age of 13, Narendra was engaged to Jasoda Ben Chamanlal and when he was married, he was only 17 years old. According to a news from Financial Express, the husband and wife spent a few years together. But after some time both of them became strangers to each other because Narendra Modi had expressed something similar to them. While the biographer of Narendra Modi does not believe so. He says:

According to Narendra Modi, an unmarried person can fight against corruption vigorously as compared to a married person because he has no concern for his wife, family and children. However, Narendra Modi has submitted his affidavit and accepted Jasodaben as his wife.
Early Activisms and Politics

Narendra Modi's Ideas
Terrorism
On 16 July 2007, Modi in a speech criticized Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for his reluctance against bringing anti-terrorism legislation such as the Anti- Terrorism Act . He demanded the Central Government to empower the states to implement strict laws in the wake of the bomb blasts in Mumbai's suburban trains . In his words -
Terrorism is worse than war. A terrorist has no rules. A terrorist decides when, how, where and whom to kill. India has lost more people in terrorist attacks than in wars.
Narendra Modi came to power if that was said on several occasions the party center, the 2004 Supreme Court by Afzal Guru will respect the decision to hang up. The Supreme Court of India convicted Afzal for the attack on the Indian Parliament in 2001 and was hanged in Tihar Jail on 8 February 2013.
Muslim
Although not a popular face among Muslims, Narendra Modi is interested in the development of Muslims. Many Muslim leaders and scholars have criticized Narendra Modi for his alleged role in the 2002 Gujarat riots and his extreme Hindutva thinking. However, many Muslim leaders like Zafar Sareshwala supported him and his policies. He often talks about the overall integral development of Muslims, in which he said : -
Muslims should have computer in one hand and Quran in the other hand.
Controversis and Criticisms of Narendra Modi
Hindu nationalism
Several opposition parties including Congress demanded the resignation of Narendra Modi. Modi submitted his resignation to the Governor, recommending the dissolution of the Tenth Assembly of Gujarat. As a result, President's rule came into force throughout the state The state held re-election in which the Bharatiya Janata Party led by Modi won 126 out of a total of 162 seats in the Legislative Assembly.On 27 February 2002, returning karsevaks from Ayodhya to Gujarat were burnt alive by a violent mob of Muslims in a train parked at Godhra station. 59 karsevaks were killed in this accident. Hindu-Muslim riots erupted all over Gujarat in response to this shocking incident. The majority of the 1180 people who died were minorities. The New York Times blamed the Modi administration for this.
In April 2009, the Supreme Court of India sent a special investigation team and wanted to know whether there was a conspiracy of Narendra Modi in the Gujarat riots. This special investigation team was sent on the complaint of Zakia Zafri, widow of Congress MP Ehsan Zafri who was killed in the riots . In December 2010, the Supreme Court ruled on the SIT report that no concrete evidence has been found against Narendra Modi in these riots.
Then in February 2011, the Times of India alleged that some facts were deliberately hidden in the report and that Narendra Modi could not be freed from crime due to lack of evidence The Indian Express also wrote that even if there was no evidence against Modi in the report, he was not free from crime. According to a report published in The Hindu , Narendra Modi not only threw water on such a terrible tragedy, but also justified the killing of Muslim militants in the riots in Gujarat which occurred in response. Bharatiya Janata PartyDemanded that the ruling Congress party's political interest behind leaking the SIT report and publishing it should also be investigated by the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court, without giving any decision, asked a magistrate of Ahmedabad to examine it impartially and give its decision without any delay. In April 2012, another Special Investigation Team again reiterated that it is true that these riots were horrific but Narendra Modi had no direct hand in these riots. On 7 May 2012, Raju Ramachandran, a special judge appointed by the Supreme Court, submitted a report that sections 153A (1) (a) and (b) of the Indian Penal Code on Narendra Modi for the Gujarat riots , 153B ( 1), 166 and 505 (2) can be punished for the crime of spreading a feeling of disharmony among various communities. However, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) criticized this report of Ramachandran and described it as a document full of maliciousness and prejudice.
On 26 July 2012, in an interview given to the editor of New World , Shahid Siddiqui, Narendra Modi said clearly - "I have already said in 2004, why should I apologize for the 2002 communal riots? If my government did this If done, I should hang all the mangoes for that. " The Chief Minister again told the new world on Thursday- "If Modi has committed a crime, hang him on the gallows." But if I am called a criminal because of political compulsion, then I have no answer. "
This is not the first time Modi has said this in his defense. Even before this, they have been arguing that for how long will you be sitting in Gujarat for the past? Why not see how much Gujarat has progressed in the last decade? The Muslim community has also benefited from this.
But when the Central Law Minister Salman Khurshid was asked about this, he replied bluntly - "If in the last twelve years, not even a single FIR has been filed against the Chief Minister of Gujarat, then how can you convict him?" Who is going to hang them? "
According to 92-year-old Mohammed Hashim Ansari, who has been fighting a legal battle for the Babri Masjid for the last 45 years , all Muslims in Gujarat under Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's province in Gujarat are happy and prosperous. On the contrary, the Congress always instills fear of Modi among the Muslims.
During his September 2014 visit to India , Prime Minister of Australia Tony Abbott said that Narendra Modi should not be held responsible as the Chief Minister of Gujarat for the 2002 riots as he was just a 'Presiding Officer' at that time in 'countless investigations'. Pakistan has proved to be clean.
