Narendra Damodardas Modi (born 17 September 1950) is a right-wing Indian politician who has served as the 14th Prime Minister of India since 2014. Modi was the chief minister of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014 and is the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Varanasi constituency. He is a member of the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a far-right Hindu nationalist paramilitary volunteer organisation.
He is the longest-serving prime minister from outside the Indian National Congress (INC). He has been described as a "semi-fascist" leader (semi-fascism being the very process itself, described as transitionary from the old bourgeois democratic parties to the more openly terroristic and chauvinistic reign of the bourgeois class, curtailing and retracting concessions won by the revolutionary half of the dialectic) and his government has gradually annihilated the bourgeois democratic system, moving towards an open fascistic diktat of the bourgeoisie.[1][2]
Chief Minister of Gujarat (2001-2014)[edit | edit source]
Before becoming Prime Minister of India, Modi led the state of Gujarat and supported a pogrom that killed over 1,000 Muslims.[3] State textbooks in Gujarat praised Hitler and describes supposed "Internal Achievements of Nazism".[4]
2002 Gujarat Riots and Ethnic Cleansing[edit | edit source]
The 2002 Gujrat Riots were a set of organized pogroms and has often been described as a genocide and ethnic cleansing, committed by the BJP and it's paramilitary organization, RSS, alongside the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), against the Muslim community in Gujarat.[5][6]
The prelude to the riots was a train burning of compartments which carried VHP cadre, however it was never independently confirmed to be committed by malicious actors and could have been a set up according to various credible sources.[7]
The police acted maliciously under Chief Minister Modi demonstrating the Gujrati state's and Modi's complicitly and direction for the 2002 Gujrat riots:
"...police officers deliberately make no attempt to prevent the collection of crowds; (2) that half hearted attempts are made to protect the life and property of the minority community; (3) that in rounding up those people participating in the riots, the victims rather than the assailants are largely picked up; (4) that there is an attempt not to register cases against the assailants and in some cases where cases are registered loopholes are provided with the intention of providing a means of acquittal to the accused; (5) that the investigation is unsatisfactory and tardy and no attempt is made to follow up the complaints made against the assailants; and finally (6) that the evidence produced in Court is often deliberately distorted so as to ensure an acquittal."[8]
Prime Minister (2014-Present)[edit | edit source]
Modi came to power at the beginning of an economic crisis by blaming the crisis on the previous UPA government led by the INC under Manmohan Singh. After taking power, Modi implemented neoliberal policies, decreasing employment and workers' incomes.[9] Under Modi's government ethnic[10] and religious[11] tensions have risen greatly inspired by direct policies of the BJP led National Democratic Alliance. His government has passed several laws for repression of all left wing forces, most prominently an amendment to the UAPA (Unlawful Acts Prevention Acts) under which the Central Government could now list individuals as terrorists. It was a significant change, as only organizations could be designated previously. It has been utilized to detain left-wing and progressive figures over the years, Umar Khalid a left wing journalist has been imprisoned for more than five years,
"...the petitioners have been in custody for several years, describing the prolonged detention as “shocking.”"[12]
At the same time, right wing agitators of religious and ethnic violence, notably Kapil Mishra, a senior BJP politician said during the 2020 CAA-NRC protests said:
"In a tweet and video of him speaking, Mishra said, "Three days ultimatum for Delhi Police—clear the roads in Jaffrabad and Chand Bagh. After this, don't make us understand. We won't listen to you. Three days.”"[13]
Mishra was never arrested for his inciting rhetoric and is currently the vice-president of the BJP, Delhi. Highlighting the erosion of all the facade of bourgeois democracy openly within the Modi led government. Modi also promised to create 100 million jobs and increase manufacturing to 25% of GDP. Instead, India lost 24 million manufacturing jobs, and manufacturing dropped from 17% to 14% of India's GDP. In 2023, he pledged loyalty to the USA's New Cold War against China.[14]
Vote Chori Scandal (Vote theft)[edit | edit source]
Recently, the INC and Rahul Gandhi have presented substantial evidence for election and vote tampering in the 2025 Indian elections for Mahadevapura Assembly constituency in Karnataka committed by the Modi-led BJP.
The Congress investigated Bangalore Central Lok Sabha constituency, focusing on the Mahadevapura Assembly segment where unusual margins were observed. Since ECI doesn’t release digitally readable rolls, lakhs of paper voter rolls were analysed over 6 months. Five types of fake voters were found in the rolls, totalling 1,00,250 fake voters.[15]
