Narendra Modi, why am I writing about this man? He is just a Chief Minister of a State, even I'm not from. How is he relevant to us?

Till last year, I just knew him as a person who let Gujarat burn during post-Godhra riots. In every newspaper or magazine I read, I never saw anything good about this person. I used to think he won elections with the "Hindutva" mantra.

That was the time, Gujarat assembly election compaigns were going on. There was a lot of signifance for Gujarat assembly elections all over India. Whole Indian media as usual, writing whatever bad they could and actively campaigning against him. Even many of the senior BJP leaders (including Ex. CM) of the state were campaigning against him. Sonia Gandhi, went to the extent of calling him the "merchant of death."

But to the surprise of all, he WON!!. That too with a fabulous majority.

Then came media reports analyzing his victory. The article I saw in India Today, created a lot of interest about him. I started reading about this guy on Web.

He's just FANTASTIC !! View this

The unique quality that I can see in Modi is his oratory skill, the courage and the aggressiveness in his speeches reminds me of Hitler. He is the most powerful politician in recent India, who has got more charisma than his own party's Prime Ministerial Candidate Advani.

His policies and schemes are simply superb. He is a great dreamer even, who has the remarkable ability to transform his dreams into reality. His Jyothigram scheme is a miracle, it succeeded in providing 24-hour, uninterrupted, 3-phase power supply to all the villages of Gujarat in just 2 years.(Can you believe its in India!). When he announced this scheme, the leader of opposition advised him, "Modi bhai! its not at all possible" and asked him to withdraw.

He is the man, who turns Adversities into Opportunities. In 2002, Gujarat was worst affected by earthquake. He took a chance, re-oriented and re-organized government’s administrative structure. Now in Gujarat, all the offices are computerized and he's successful in giving e-governance to the state.

This master strategist, who runs his government like a CEO is corporate-friendly. The recent Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit, brought 12 lakh crore investment.(which is 1.5 times annual budget of India). He brought new SEZ laws, which gave clearance to Nano in just 2 days.(Generally early clearance would take 3-6 months).

This saffron guy is very tough on terror. According to him, government should inspire people "emotionally" to participate in the movement of development.

Gujarat's economy was in adverse conditions when Modi was in power due to natural calamities. Now the state having 5% of population, 6% of geographical area contributes to 18% of GDP.

Forgetting what happened in 2002, now its time to see him as the 'Future Ambassador of India.'

I don't understand what the current government is doing after Mumbai attacks. Now the current situation is, we are WAITING for the Pakistan to respond. Do you know Indian Army is not ready for a war with Pakistan who is getting arms from US. We have no strategy at the International level. We are neither close to Russia nor America. What is our stand! we don't know. If this is the case, even Srilanka or Bangladesh can blackmail India tomorrow!!

Now what do we need is a strong courageous leader who can lead the country, not the WEAK leaders who are just nominated and controlled by some other remote, who is said to have sacrified.

To be clear, we need a man like Modi who inspires people and leads the country. He just proved what he can do in Gujarat and it's time to bring him to the Centre.

You agree or not, he would be the longest serving Prime Minister of India.
