In 1985, he was assigned to join the Bharatiya Janata Party, and quickly rose through the party's ranks, becoming its General Secretary in 1998. Three years later, in 2001, he became the Chief Minister of Gujarat. 13 years after that, in 2014, Narendra Modi took oath as the Prime Minister of India for the first time. (ANI)
